Yeah... anything but white/silver will change the color. Flourescents must be backed in white. That's why it doesn't look right even with a bunch of coats.

You really only need a couple coats... maybe 3-4 light coats... then back it with white or pactra's white flourescent covercoat, which is opaque. If you get a couple coats of the "covercoat" then you can even use dark colors after that and it won't show through.

Edit... even a single coat, backed with white works... but will show some light/white specks where it's not covered real good. The more coats of green the more solid it will be (and guaranteed to be uniform) but may lose a little of the super bright look of just a couple light coats.
