Difference between white paper and green paper?

Whats the difference between white paper and green paper in terms of papers that go before government and government discussion before an act is signed into law? One is a discussion document and one is the bill?

White is the last one before official announcements and green is earlier on along the planning stage (the first draft proposals?)

Google will probably give you a definitive answer...
