I got the jungle green and a grey and I can't tell a difference

Nintendo has a habit of revising hardware internally with some slight differences.

I don't where I found it, but I do remember some Japanese guy got a ton of official Famicom hardware variations (numerous original, AV and the Sharp clones) to compare the sound quality with the Zelda title song. (with the Sharp Twin Famicoms, they even bothered to compare the sound quality running both the internal disk drive and an external disk drive)

I have also heard a number of complaints about the SNES Mini having worse video than the original, some even go as far as considering it a clone system rather than authentic. Even some later SNES original model consoles contained a combined video/audio chip. Nintendo merged the video and audio on later N64 motherboard revisions as well.

I can see in the comparison pictures above that the "colored" photos have a slightly sharper picture whereas the "gray" photos are a bit blurrier.

I like that classic Greyish black color. I never got colored consoles because the color would eventually wear out.
