They are called "Classic Green" for a reason. Either you're getting mixed up with the "Black Specials" or somebody did a mix 'n match on your furniture. CQBs originally came with all green furniture, (mine did)the same as the "Classic Green" but the last shipment or two that TSE has brought in has had the black furniture. IMHO, the green looks nicer.
IIRC 95% of the classic greens i've seen on cgn and in gun stores/friends collections have had the black furniture. The only all green one I can remember of late is skullboys...wheres redleg, he knows better...(not that it really matters)
GT might moan a little but SAN also makes their 551's and 552's in black which I also find pretty nice, saved this pic from a fella in switzerland:
