tbh it kinda does
Never go by colour or pattern alone (unless it's super unique). General body shape is probably the biggest exclusionary factors, followed by size and geography.
This thread went through almost all the green spiders in Europe. I think we are only missing Micrommata virescens. But even without the colour, this spider is an orb-weaver, just from it's shape and legs.
