I think it's only green in pictures, like most Patriot DDR module pictures, but the actual PCB of the retail products is black.
See the Viper DDR4 for instance.

Actually, Patriot has been using both green and black PCBs for their DDR4 Viper so far, which is sad.
On site pictures show green PCB https://s3.amazonaws.com/patriotmemory/wp-content/uploads/20150729213901/Viper4_DDR4_Dual.jpg

While in retail both green and black PCB are found, probably depends on production date, DIMM capacity, etc.

Pretty silly, only black and rarely white PCB should be used to match the motherboards.

for the green team it's not green enough... too dark.


also ... who cares about the colour of the PCB if the speeds are so average that you will not use those sticks anyway?

I mean seriously... best Patriot 2x16GB kit, 2666MHz 15-15-15-35
comes nowhere near:
G.Skill 2x16GB kits of 3000MHz, CL15-15-15-35 (TridentZ, RipjawsV)
G.Skill 2x16GB kit 3200MHz, CL16-18-18-38 (RipjawsV)
... and those have black PCB-s also.

or

GeIL frost white dragon ram 3000MHz, CL13-13-13-35
GeIL DDR4 EVO Potenza 3000MHz, CL13-13-13-35
