I think this is too strong of a statement. Automotive wiring uses green in many places for wires other than ground. Automatic equipment mfg do not limit themselves to non-green colors within their PLCs. There is a lot of green wire out there being used in non-safety ground applications.

If there is no rule against it, I think it should be allowed.
