You're thinking of the VT200, which came in three colors, although at DEC
fortunately they never inflicted green on us :-). But all the earlier DEC
video terminals (VT05, VT50/52/61t/62, VT20, VT71) were white. The only
exception I can think of is the GT40, probably because that one benefits from
having fairly long persistence which was available in green phosphor but not in
white.
