If I remember correctly they are green. My family didn't become citizens until I was 13. I know we all had some type of card that was green what it was I don't remember

Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Receipt Card). It is commonly called the Green Card not because of its current color, but because of the original color of the card many years ago.

At one time (at least up until 1976) they actually were green, or more accurately they were overprinted with wavy green lines (an anti-counterfeiting measure I think) which gave them a greenish tint, at least when viewed at arms length.

The official name of the card is Permanent Resident Card (form I-551). The name "green card" comes from the fact that the predecessor, Alien Registration Receipt Card (form I-151) introduced at the end of World War II, was printed on green paper. Form I-551 was adopted in 1977 and has been printed on paper of various colors, none of which was green, but the term "green card" has nonetheless remained in use. Currently, the card is mostly yellowish-white and the only prominent green feature is the background of 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. -WIK yo...
