I'd trust the green more purely because it's traditional.
At work, I never trusted the "rasberry" scented dishwashing liquid to do anything other than make things smell like rasberry.

yeh sunlight was way ahead on the green thing. but in general i choose sunlight over any other dishwashing liquid no matter what the colour. It does clean better, and that is that.
I prefer the green one too, the orange seems too fake somehow. A bit like a useless salesman.
Personally, the one I like the best is actually that turquoise one from Pick 'n Pay.
Combines the green = clean, and blue = hygiene aspects. Although it could be my absolute love of all things turquoise.. Does anybody else like this one, or is it just me?
Green isn't a cleaner colour BTW. It's just we associate it with cleaning fluid and hospitals. The word SNOT comes to mind though ... or monster slime.
I prefer the colour orange to green, so I'd probably choose that one .... It's a good thing my wife does all the shopping, because I couldn't really care much for practicalities or price.
i guess we believe the green cleans better because from experience - it is the one that has always done the job - my mother can testify of that - and so can i - did my fair share of dishwashing....in rural shops they sell these foot-long bars of green soap and then you also get the red variation - i dont know what the difference is - all i know is that it is a stunning material to use in sculpture - its really flexible and can be explored to the extreme - used it for some art projects last year.
I prefer the green. Its true, it is all in the mind.
Using the orange one, makes me feel like I'm washing up with Oros.
I don't think my dishes mind too much.
I buy the orange because it smells better... plus I remember drinking the green when I was small thinking it was lemon twist or something. Personally I don't consider green the cleaner colour. Think dirty swimming pool. Township road-side puddles. Bring us some oranges please.
both of them are not that impressive. I would frankly prefer no colorant or perfum in it at all - who cares what colour is the soap? It just needs to clean.
