Do you think the famous tomato chutney would work with green tomatoes?

I'm certainly not an expert with that recipe.  I think the flavors would work very well with green tomatoes but I wonder if all the spices and long cook time would result in an unpleasant grayish color?
Depending on how tart the tomatoes are I might use less cayenne and give it a taste to see if it wants a little more sugar.

I've been getting some lovely yellow tomatoes from a local farmstand.  They are very sweet and I was thinking I might use some to make a less-hot version but had the same concerns about the pretty yellow tomatoes turning muddy.  Maybe I'll just get enough for a small batch and try it out.
