It's a cracked dark green paint job.
There is an interesting anecdote here.

I chose to paint the body of the Venus pencil dark green.
There was a problem with the paint, and the paint cracked as it dried.
However, I love the effect of the company's executives splitting up.

During the Second World War, major resources were cut off.
The use of all kinds of metals, including rubber, is prohibited.
So instead of metal ferrule,
They replaced the ferrule with plastic or hardboard paper.
The Venus Drawing pencil is made of plastic ferrule.
