The green one in the middle is a "colour changeling". Blues will often turn to greenish shades due to exposure to sunlight, exposure to chemicals (possibly in the soaking process) or other environmental influences.

Hi Kira:
I learned the hard way to always check the catalog for varieties. I thought that I had an 85 and an 86 as I had a dark blue and light blue. It turns out that I had both varieties of 86, so I'm on the hunt for 85 (gray) and 85a (violet).
My 2023 Unitrade does not show a light green variety so that one has picked up some yellow to change color. But there are several varieties to look for. No. 1375: the central facade glows orangy under UV light, 1375a: dark blue inscriptions omitted( this is listed at 2,000.00), 1375i: central facade glows copper under UV light, 1375b: perf 13.3x13.0 and 1375c: also blue inscriptions omitted and 2,000.00.
It also says "shades of bricks exist. (notably grey and black/brown)" Looks like I've got to go back and look at my copies, too! I hope that this helps. Also, 1375 is perf 14.6 x14.0.
