I have never looked through a modern pair of Zeiss binos that were beer bottle green in tint. But, I have to admit, the SFL feels like a very color accurate binocular. After a few hours of use it has that crisp and natural contrast viewing that I really enjoy. Well done.

"Ultra High Definition", also translates as "very expensive". Zeiss use ED and multi coated glass.
It boils down to what you find acceptable. Lack of distortion and aberration is wanted for photography but do we need that for visual observation when the brain tunes out a lot of the unwanted stuff.

And more expensive without it, SF.
