It appears so though it may not be intentional but a by product of the way the colour shading was done on him. If you noticed the blue areas are toned with green for certain effects, as someone who knows what can happen when artists get things wrong, you can flood as area with the wrong colour. One clue that it may not be intentional is that the green is the same tone or hue as the blue (I mix up the mini terms sometimes, my apologises I'm quoting notes from 2003-2007). In short their the same depth of shade, but one leans to the green and the other blue but their not ness. meant to be "green and blue" but a indicator or shade/tone/hue. Its... Complex to explain when you don't remember quite the full notes and I'm trying to not misspeak on this. The problem is to create shading in art, you can use techniques such as blue-on-green to darken a green or yellow to lighten it, white and black are often avoided as one has little impact (White) and the other can ruin things (black can be too dominate and hard to control and often you only need a touch of it, whereas white you need a lot of it). So it becomes quite a common technique and may even be at play here for all we know.

For now we know that it appears more greener but we don't know if that was the intention of it to be green or if it was a result of overshading the blue with green because of the colouring style. We lack the artist's notes. Otherwise, since it appears to be the case you can take it as its intentional in lacking those notes.

I've tried to explain the problem before to others, but people don't always understand what I'm talking about and I apologise if I confuse you.
