If you want a different reason, then it's because Upgrade's color is that of the Omnitrix's primary color, so he should be green.

However, saying he should be green because he's Upgrade is a plenty fine argument because it's saying he should be green because that's part of who he is. It's like how saying Stinkfly should be insectoid because he's Stinkfly: he's an insectoid alien, not a humanoid with wings. Wildvine is a plant being, not a green skinned cyclops. Upgrade's color is like Aquaman's hair color. Aquaman is blonde because he's half human, embraces it as part of him, caring for humans while being the king of Atantis. Upgrade's color is green because the Omnitrix's primary color is green, and, especially due to the white of Ben's outfit in OS, he looks like part of the Omnitrix. I don't like Ben's Upgrade being purple because that's not what Ben's Upgrade is.

I suspect someone might rebuttle with something about Shocksquatch's major redesign between HU and OV, or Eatle's between UA and OV, or how I say I want an orange Fasttrack. Well, Shocksquatch is just an electric yeti, so both designs work for him, his color doesn't matter all that much as long as he's got the yeti appearance with bolts. Eatle becomes an actual beetle instead of a shark, so he becomes what his name suggests, and his color doesn't matter. Fasttrack being orange is my way of making him less of an XLR8 copy, making him his own thing. No, this is the reboot. We're obviously going to take things from the OS-OV, but this is what a Galvanic Mechamorph or what a Wildvine's species would look like. This isn't because, "Oh he's purple, but the Omnitrix is green!!!", this is the reboot and it changed what we know of the species. Overflow isn't a Water Hazard, Wildvine is not a plant being, etc. because that's what we USED to know and this is the new species. "Because that's not what Ben's Upgrade is." yeah, it's what the Galvanic Mechamorphs are.
