No. The name "green card" comes from the fact that the predecessor form, I-151, was printed on green paper. 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.

It's commonly called the Green Card because of the original color of the card issued many years ago, not of its current color.
"Green Card refers to the official card issued by the US government to lawful permanent residents (immigrants) as evidence of their authorization to live and work in the United States. It is officially called Form I-551, the Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Receipt Card)."

No, they are a cross between white and pink. They use to be green and the term 'green card' has stuck.

I admit that I am the imposter, Will you ever forgive me for all the nasty things I said and did?
I always wanted to be a princess, but mommy whipped me with a coathangerfor wearing her underthings on my head, it warped me. The doctor says I will get better if I take my medicine. I dont like enemas if they are cold. Warm ones feel nice. I love dogs, literally. My hermophroditic gay lover is an illegal, I cant help that I am so twisted and sick, its just the way I am.
