What makes the flame come out green on a green jet lighter?

I started collecting butane jet lighters and have been seeing ones with a green flame.. The flame slowly turns green after the lighter is lit for a few seconds.. It refills with normal butane, so I know it's not the fuel that's special... What causes the flame to turn green?
