I just recently updated my iPhone X to iOS 12 and noticed that my iMessage blue and SMS green are more darker now. My wife's iPhone 7 retains the same regular blue though. If you are using Apple’s iMessage technology, your text messages will be sent or received in blue. If you are using Short Messaging Service or SMS (traditional way), your text messages will be in green. In the iPhone message app, the outgoing message bubble is either green or blue.
Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems you are experiencing issues with iMessage messages sending unexpectedly as a green message bubble on your iPhone. To help resolve this issue, please follow the steps in this resource on your situation:

If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this:
- The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device.
- iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
- iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.
