Steve, Are you sure it's not a color contrast effect with the primary star of the pair? You never hear about reports of a single green star that is not a part of a double star system. That "green" companion of Antares is a strong illusion. When I saw the companion emerge from occultation before the primary star, it was obviously nothin' but white.
