I agree with your conclusion, but note that DJD XII, Qumran Cave 4 VII:
Genesis to Numbers does have one plate (#XLIX) in color. In the same
volume, there is a discussion of red ink on pp. 210-11, which notes
Egyptian parallels among others, and a reference on p. 267 to a color
transparency of an unidentified (and now missing) fragment. No mention
is made of green ink.
