While I was working at the college library, all of our dumb terminals
were amber.  Most all of the computers were also.  Later, I worked for a
couple of years at a company that had an AS400 and all of those terminals
(dumb and PC) were usually green.

I would have to agree that, on the PCs, the amber seemed brighter.
