Maybe so. But then it is, IMO, as much a question of tech awareness. That is, online buyers should be aware that color representations on the screen are notoriously inaccurate. Unless, I suppose, both the image and the user's monitor have been subjected to Pantone calibration, or whatever is used in applications when color fidelity is critical.
Even so, I've seen photo artifacts that can fool the eye. For example, brass instruments that appear to be silver or some other color. Straight instruments that appear curved.
Of course, it's perfectly reasonable to have a color preference, and to be disappointed if your preference isn't met. And maybe Misha (and every website vendor, really) could or should put up a color disclaimer.
But I'm not sure of the bottom line here. It's not as if there's a choice of greens. If you want an MK for its sound and playing characteristics, and you want green, you get what green is available. Googling "green MK whistle" will give you a pretty good idea of the actual hue over multiple images. The OP can simply return the whistle if the color is unacceptable and unliveable. Or resell it in a heartbeat, given the hot demand for MKs. And/or discuss and clarify color issues with Misha before ordering another, if it's really that important.
(btw, my fav shade of green has a little less blue in it 
)
