Here is the info regarding the charger light color:

About your Mac laptop’s power adapter - Apple Support

"About MagSafe power adapter light colors

When you first connect a MagSafe power adapter to a compatible computer, the adapter light glows green for about a second to indicate that power is available. After that, the adapter light glows green or amber.

  • Green: A steady green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
  • Amber: A steady amber light indicates that the battery is being charged."
