Sure it tells the state for that one of the 6 cells. 12 volt batteries
have 5 more cells that can go bad.

I had a delco with a green eye and still had 0 volts across the
terminals.

Re: Jeep Engine Stalls Just After Startup
 

You are absolutely correct Mike, it is only one cell and FWIW, that one cell
could still be open or shorted and indicate green, but my point is that it
is a true hydrometer, not just a liquid level check. It is not a substitute
for a voltmeter or a hydrometer in diagnosing battery/charging problems, but
if it isn't green then there is something wrong.

So how many volts is that cell holding while the reflective color is
green?
