I wasn't aware of this. However, I do know that green was considered an unlucky colour and it was surrounded by superstition. One in particular is that the mother of the bride should not wear green at her daughter's wedding as it will bring bad luck to the marriage. I have no idea where this originated, but I know a number of people who have followed this superstition, including my mother!

Back in the day, Moliere times, green was seen as the color of bad luck and madness because the dye from the theatre costumes would rub on to the actress or actor. Green is often still seen as a bad luck color to wear in european theatres.

Haven't heard that - I've heard that it's considered unlucky; some people won't drive a green car.
I look forward to learning something from the answers you get!

Two extensive sites about the color green I don't see much about madness. Take a look for yourself.
The Hulk (Dr. Robert Bruce Banner) is very clever but I think is pushing it a bit

When Anne was beheaded she was thought to be insane. She was also wearing green when taken to the Guillotine. And so it began.
