Smitty City

A few more thoughts.
What about the following question...

Why Blue?
75% of the earth's surface is water, and that appears blue from above the earth.

Perhaps a better a way to put your green theory is this...

Why no green? The fact is that when we see green, we are actually seeing every color except green. I think it goes something like that...I try to forget science because then I would have to care about global warming.

A moment ago, I stood at the window at the Y.M.C.A. quietly observing the green that surrounded me. I noticed the sky. A giant blue expanse. I wondered...Why blue? In all seriousness, I literally walked back over to the computer to compose the first comment on my post asking that very question...but you beat me to it. Jerk. Great point. Ocean and sky...Why Blue?

Yet another thought:

Environmental factors can alter these colors. The colors are never consistent. They constantly change due to particular conditions.
