Why does the colour of the same compound (e.g. magnesium nitride) differ?

When I am searching the colour of $\ce{Mg3N2}$ I came across photos showing different colours: greenish-yellow on Wikimedia, and some other just yellow on some Google Photos results.

I am eager to know what causes some samples to be bit greenish.
