I know on mine the green color is the actual temp. They are not that accurate.

Those strip thermometers are not good at all, except maybe for a trend. If you set & measure the actual temp with a "real" thermometer, then note where that color change stripe is at .... you can get an idea that the temp is off if that strip is way off the original mark. <Don't worry about the numbers or anything else on the strip, it is so inaccurate as to be meaningless.>
