Lume on green numeral sandwich dial is brighter than brown numeral sandwich dial?

Hi guys..

I have a PAM 312 , PAM 441 and PAM 360. I noticed that the lume on my PAM 312 seems to be brighter compared to the lumes on my PAM 441/PAM 360. This is noticeable especially when I put the watches under the sun for a few seconds. Seems that the green numerals have brighter lume than the brown numerals. Is that suppose to be normal?

It´s normal, the relative brightness of green is about double that of brown/reddish colours.

the green lume is just straight superluminova, while the patina lume has pigment blended into it which tends to water it down a little and make it less bright

It's like this too even on Gens. My 422 with vintage ecru lume is not as bright as models with standard green lume.

Yes vintage type lume is less bright than "green-white" lume
