Those with cotton coats tend to show up more golden colored. Sounds like your baby will have a silky coat and they are so much easier to care for! Here's more information. Eye Shine

Just wanted to add that you only see this with the flash of a camera, not in natural light, and there is some individual difference in cameras that could cause something other than green to show up.
I can see Uni's eye shine often in natural light. It's pretty neat.
