There’s a few different ways to amplify light, to massively oversimplify nvgs convert incoming light into electrons, amplify that, and then the electron strikes a phosphor screen that converts it back into light, and the screen only produces green light. You could get different colors with different phosphor screens or using different methods of light amplifcation.
