Green Gold Alloys Green gold alloys are made by leaving the copper out of the alloy mixture, and just having gold and silver. In most cases, it is more of a greenish yellow, rather than what most people would describe as green. Eighteen carat green gold would therefore contain:- Gold 75%; Silver 25% Most green gold alloys are rather soft to be used for general jewellery purposes, but it can be used very effectively for decorative effects on hand-made pieces of jewellery

Well, that's close. Green gold actually contains a mixture of Gold, Silver and Copper. For a 18 Karat item you're looking at 18/24 parts pure gold, 6/24 parts a mixture of pure 75% silver and 25% copper. Just in case you're wondering, in yellow gold, the alloy mixture is 50% Silver, 50% Gold. Rose gold 75% Copper, 25% Silver. White gold (est.) 60% Nickel, 20% Zinc and 20% Copper (White gold alloys vary according to manufacturer)
