Nope, it's green grey and brown throughout (which makes visiting the
Oasis all that much more exciting). There was a bit more color
variation in some of the DLC packs ('Broken Steel', for instant, I
recall as having have dominant colors of black, grey and orange). New
Vegas was well-received in part because its graphics were not
constantly covered with a greenish tinge (but then they stuck the
game in a desert so we still had lots of grey and browns).
There are a number of user-created add-ons for Fallout 3 that enhance
the graphics, either by simply removing the green filter, fiddling
with the rendering to provide more vibrant colors, or changing the
textures entirely. It is quite interesting to see post-apocalyptic
Washington DC re-imagined as a lush and colorful wasteland and even if
you don't intend to play with those add-ons I recommend at least
taking a look.
