Another non-Tolkien example is from the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Silver Chair, the witch often turned into a green serpent. Plus, she was formerly known as the White Witch.
I agree with Kransha about the different shade aspect. The green of Minas Morgul was somewhat sickly and pale; the Shire green is, as he said, vibrant and bright. Morgul green is depressing, yet Shire green makes you happy.
