JUST CHECK THIS OUT...

The name "green card" comes from the fact that the predecessor form, I-151, introduced at the end of World War II, was printed on green paper[1]. Form I-551 was adopted in 1977 and has been printed on paper of various colors, none of which were green, but the term "green card" has nonetheless remained in use. As of 2006, the card is mostly white and the only prominent green feature is the lettering on the back. A card includes the holder's name and photograph, and other information, and has been updated over the years with numerous anti-counterfeiting devices.

USCIS:
