Funny thing, I've recently read about a terminal system that allowed choosing between green and orange as the display colors, IIRC in runtime. Forgot now what it was, though—possibly even Bloomberg terminal (those mostly don't seem to be limited in colors, but apparently use plenty of orange text in some places).
At the time I had no idea where these two choices came from, though of course I've seen lots of green in the movies. Come to think of it, in life I'm more familiar with the idea of black-and-white displays, having used such a TV with my NES and having heard of a web designer using a b&w monitor.
Upd: from pictures, it seems Bloomberg had phosphor displays in either green or orange in the 80s (CRT, I hope), so the current orange may be a big nod to those times.
