Green representing water has me a little confused, but I guess having blue be the sky makes sense too

Water is colorless, so a culture can reasonably pick any color to represent it. Green makes some sense too, because water makes things green through plants

There are parts of the ocean that look rather green, or even lakes full of algae, so I guess it can work when you think of it that way
