Colour of the image is irrelevant. As stated, there are two diferent types. Digital NV and tubed NV. Digital NV used a camera lens, which is sensitive to infra-read light, to present a video image to you, through an LCD screen. Tubed NV used a very complex system of microscopic strands of fibre optic to amplify the tiniest amount of ambient light using a photocathode.
Later version fo Gen 2+ and Gen 3 tubes are available with a black and white image, instead of a black and green image. In the grand scheme of things, the colour doesnt matter. Better clarity and longer ranges are acheivable using tubed NV systems, hence their increased cost over the digital B

Mr B,
I think you have kind of missed the point of what i was asking. I was just. Wanting to make sure that I was right in thinking the green and black image nv is from the tubed nv systems. Because I find the green and black image far easier to look at for long periods as opposed to the black and white nv
