Wait a moment. Wasn't Frankenstein's creature green in the face ...?
Actually the green color that Boris Karloff's and his successors' personifications of the creature was - at least in the beginning - only movie make up. At the time Frank Whale shot his Frankenstein movie the black and white film material reacted very clearly and crisply to the color green. Sometimes whole movie sets were painted in different hues of green to take advantage of this fact. When newspaper journalists visited Frank Whale's set and reported the green face of Boris Karloff's monster, they didn't add that this was only from technical necessities. So the legend came into being that the creature's skin had to be green - instead of the sickly pale flesh color Mary Shelley, the original author of the novel, gave the monster.
Later directors adopted this notion without checking why the green face make up was used in Frank Whale's movie. By then the green make up wasn't even necessary any more, as new film material had been developed that didn't depend so much on the clearness of the color. But Frankenstein's creature stayed green - at least in the classic movies and their successors way up unto the Seventies.
