I’ve never really put this into thought…but what is/are the pros/cons of green colored vials vs. clear when used in levels ?

I just happend to notice one day, when I was working in a dark area, that the green vials on my 6' Stabilla are "Glow in the Dark". I wouldn't have noticed but it was sitting outside in the daylight, so when I brought inside, where I was working, all three vials were glowing like nuclear waste. And I said well I'll be golly, they glow!
I prefer green. Better contrast, since the bubble is clear.
Mostly see the higher end level are green.
My Stabila torpedo had green vials when I bought it 6 or 8 years ago- the vials have now faded to clear. Wazzup with that?

Warranty it and get back to green, that should be covered.
