All of it is the same,  some may have a plastic film coating.

 

Generally the thinner sheets of foam will have a plastic film covering, to help avoid breaking the sheet during transportation.  You can simply peel the plastic off whenever you want.

Pink and blue foams are basically the same thing, just two different colors by two different manufacturers.  Unless another manufacturer has recently stepped in with a green-colored extruded polystyrene sheet, normally the green foam is a somewhat different product.  Like the various green foam shapes one can buy in craft departments at various stores for making floral arrangements with artificial flowers.

I've never used the green stuff for scenery building, although I suppose you could if so desired.  It may have some disadvantages that I'm not aware of. 

The Green for flowers is much more porous to easily insert the "stem" portion.

The Lowes Green extruded insulation I've had is just like the Pinkish Owens or the Blue Dow brands.
