The green rings are supposedly slightly thicker to accomodate R-134 which is molecularly smaller and more prone to leakage. We've been using the green, blue and original black o-rings for several years now and there really doesn't seem to be any advantage of one over the other. If I recall correctly the green rings were originally designed for Fords that had an issue with leaks at their slip-connect fittings.
