Green is associated with jealousy and envy

That's even more interesting! Whom by?

Shakespear links green with jealousy. In his play "Othello", jealousy is refered to as "that green eyed monster".

In mediaeval mythology green represented nature; wild, uncontrolled, mysterious and not to be trusted. Green was worn by ladies of doubtful reputation (as in the song "Greensleeves") and was very rarely used in heraldry.
