The designers of NVG's probably picked green for a reason. In the end it's all digital bits enhanced via a photomultiplier tube. Perhaps we have more cones that can detect green, meaning that for a given amount of green we can process more green. Conversely, it also means that any green light bleed from an NVG user is more likely to be picked out than say...red. If using NVG and you wish to avoid any light leakage, red is the one least likely to be picked up by someone watching for light at night.

Of course, when an NVG user stares at another NVG user...cat eyes.

We have few blue cones in the retina.

However, the ergonomic choice was driven rod sensitivity and dark-adapted vision in humans, which is optimal at 507nm, a color perceived as far more green than blue.
