Very nice. I still wonder, why they picked this green color for most of their cockpits

The greenish colour seen in many Russian aeroplanes was chosen because it keeps pilots alert, whereas the black/gray typically found in most combat aircraft can have the opposite effect. Another thing many people don't notice about that colour choice, is that there is often a white line down the centre of the panel; the purpose of that is to aid with spin recovery, whereby it helps you align the stick centrally to ensure the ailerons are neutral.
