Is there a significance of the colour green in Islam?
**Green is the color of the prophet Mohammed who himself declared it his favourite color and who’s cloak and turban were green. Even today only his direct successors - the Kaliphs - are allowed to wear a green turban. The Holy Banner - the most precious relic of Islam - is green with golden embroidery. Mohammed supposedly carried this very banner into the holy war which resulted in conquering Mecca. Green is also the predominating color in Paradise where it stands for flowery fields and eternal oases. Green is the color of the Arabic League and many Arabic countries have included green in their national flags as it symbolizes the unity of all arabic nations. Green is also the life-giving color of all desert peoples.
Green Color has the most soothing affect on our Eyes…it relaxes our Moods!

That is true but i heard from someone that Green has a lot of importance islamically but he couldnt tell more. I wanted people's opinions on it islamically not scientifically.

Like posted above......Rasul Allah (PBUH) preferred the Color Green!

Green is the colour of life. It is scientifically the coolest colour to view, because it requires lower intensities of it for us to see things clearly in green light compared to other light. In daylight red appears brighter, but in darkness green appears brighter. This to me seems like it is symbolic of when we need guidance (i.e. in darkness) we need green. It also means that when there is plenty of sensory stimulus and we are in the height of knowledge (i.e. daylight) we need red light, which is the colour of caution.
As SindSagar rightly said green is the favourite colour of Rasoolullah (SAW) also he liked black and white too.
In fact green is the middle colour of the spectrum of visible colours and it can be seen as the middle path of all colours. Islam is about taking the middle path in life. So it makes sense that Muhammad (SAW) likes and prefers all things with balance and centrality.
Other than this there is no ritualistic or rite based or holy aspect to 'green' it is a matter of reflection and preference only. Wisdom is that it compounds on the perfect example of Muhammad (SAW) being guided and loving the colour of centrality.

The Quran and the Hadith, the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, describe Paradise as filled with green: the people of Paradise "will wear green garments of fine silk [The Noble Quran, 18:31]."
