As far as I know, aubergine is a colour. Eggs are white or brown. Oval in shape Eggplants/aubergines We have come to know both. But seriously. Green aubergines? Spotted not at an upscale, high-end, import-only supermarket, no no no Just your regular, low-end, very local, wet and dry market, next to my school.  And no, they are not "green" as in "unripe". Ready to eat, just like their brothers and sisters: What do we have here?    Some oranges, some mandarins, some yellow tomatoes maybe? Well, actually the one in the middle is a persimmon.
