Do green and vein have the same vowel sound?

No, "green" and "vein" do not have the same vowel sound.

* Green has a short "e" sound, similar to the vowel sound in "bed" or "ten".

* Vein has a long "e" sound, similar to the vowel sound in "see" or "tree".

So, while they are both spelled with the letter "e", they have different vowel pronunciations.
