Answer: I would say that it is the same color.

Explanation:

3 cups of white and 9 cups of green.

7 cups of white and 27 cups of green.

Imagine a green marker and a bunch of piece of paper. Make a green circle of a sheet of paper and put another on top. Repeat the process until there are 3 pieces of paper with 9 green circles and 7 seven pieces of paper with 27 green circles.
