That's the xp part - but the following is also something to consider: above green, monsters get:*damage bonus on their attack*damage reduction on your hits*evasion bonus

• hit bonus
• increased critical rate

These effects are still small for yellows, but become very noticable when fighting reds or purples, especially in dungeons or map 4.
