Thank goodness you mentioned that! Here I've been thinking it's my shoddy work that is the problem with my model, but it is actually my blue cutting mat!it's being proven that green color mats are a success to the modeling.
... you are not alone...I also have a transparent mat.
I have a solution for your dilema... you are not alone...I also have a transparent mat.
put a green mat under your transparent one......
All the fuss about the color of a mat can partly be traced back to our American friends: They introduced the music style 'BlueGrass'. It shouldn't get any crazier....... 
Grass is green under normal circumstances, if it turns brown then you have a problem, as does if it turns yellow. But I have never seen changing it into blue …….
Fortunately, Kurt @Kurt Konrath already brought photography into the picture with the composition of light and its influence.
A Blue mat is also a Green. With just a little too much Red in it.
(If we talk in the same standerd RGB language….. )
Here at the sea we also have the colors SeaGreen and SeaBlue. And they are exactly the same.
So with What You See in real of mats Is Not What You Get on the photo. You cannot depend on a color on YOUR screen. WYSIWYG is not correct, it's WYSINWYG.
And if it wasn't something like that, then it wouldn't be like that... that's how it is.
I could be green and yellow annoyed and turn red in the face. But I just cut into every mat I come across until I'm left with blue fingers.
No MATter what color the mat has.
Regards, Peter

Cutting mats must be green not blue. Oysters are blue, you can't cut on them. Singing yes a real cult, but not cutting.
I wish I could, mon ami! There is no place for 'Green' in general as I hate the green color. It would be torture working on the green mat.
Unless you're in the southern USA, where it turns tan every winter.
Wrong, Stephan. You have to cut IN them, otherwise you can't eat them. And you also cut IN a mat when using it. When you cut only ON a mat, you can put your 16 mats aside and just cut ON your table.
So, Not a valid argument! Blue mats are still in use .......
