Depending on the power and glasses the color will vary. My Argon glasses show an orange dot while my cheap ones show a violet beam, this is for my 445nm and 405nm. I havent been abe to find my 5mW green to test it out though, might have to buy another one soon.

That's because the color emitted by the material isn't monochromatic. It's just centered on green, but there will be plenty to either side. Virtually any "green" light source will have some red component. For example, here's a green CCFL, followed by a green tritium vial, followed by a lime-green LED:
