I think it is but want to make sure, I saw a 2012 and loved that the inner panels around the gauges are green. On my 2015 they are black and not a painted black more of a textured finish. If they are the same I would like to switch them.

Is the 2012 and the 2015 green the same color?

I'd check Ebay for used. Don't pay more than half price of new. It's not unlikely there might be a tab cracked off or some minor scratch...but that part is not too vulnerable to crash damage and often a used parts house parts out wrecks.
OR—check Coloright for the paint code. If the paint code is same, the colts same. There was a guy who recently bought an older model of black fairings that were cheaper than his more recent black bike. Paint code was the same, name was the same and the old fairings matched his bike.

I have seen lots of 12s and own a 15. I dont think they are the same.

THere could be more but Kaw the last few years has had two shades of green. The Gold Blazed Green, which is the darker shade, and the Candy Lime Green which is the lighter.
I believe the '12 SE was CLG and I believe the later bikes which have some mixed black/green are the GBG. Definitely different colors but they might work ok together, not sure.

+1 I think VicThing has it correct here. I will say the Brocks logo on my exhaust is probably matched to the CLG green instead of my GBG, but its a close enough match most eyes dont even notice.
