I've seen a few comets over the years and a couple with my Meade 105mm telescope, the green colour is then quite visible to the eye.
Apparently the green colour is due to this: 'Comets flare green when they carry diatomic carbon—two-atom carbon molecules—which reacts with the sun's outgassing particles, the solar wind.' Quote
