When you have double (or more) stars and gases involved, you can end up with a green-ish tint. Obviously, different people will describe the color in a different way due to everyone's own seeing conditions, instruments, and color sensitivity.

Therefore indeed a star behind gas rich in oxygen may appear green, but that green light comes from the gas, not from the star.
