You can get muddy looking greens from lots of different plant sources... The only way they had to get a good, clear, strong green (AFAIK) was to dye blue over yellow. And guess what? Good blue dyes were rare and expensive, so a good green, like a good blue, would have been the preserve of the well heeled...
