Color properties are RGB triples in the graphics object.  The line
spec "-*g" is translated to a line type and RGB color.  Gnuplot 4.2
can handle the color directly, but earlier versions of gnuplot only
have a very limited number of line types with set colors so I did not
see that it was worth trying to map a color of [0,1,0] to a (possibly
terminal dependent) line type number to specify the color when that
can't possibly work for more than about six or seven colors.  I think
the solution is to use gnuplot 4.2.
