I don't know why, but in Spanish language there are many expression with green color and almost always it has quite a negative meaning. Strange, isn't it. Green is the color of that nature, peace and all that stuff... Well, just have a look of some of these expression:
Chiste verde (green joke) = joke about sex
Poner verde = talk behind back
Estar verde = to be not adult, without life o professional experience
Un viejo verde = An old man who puts the make on young girls
What do you think?
