This is a very broad question as there are a great many different species of tree frog. In most of the natural world, living things that change color do so for one of two reasons: breeding or defense. In the case of tree frogs the primary reason is most likely defense - by changing color they can either blend into the environment or repel predators.

Are green frogs green when they first turn into frogs?

No. No frogs are green. Frogs have no green pigmentation in their skin at all. Like mammals, they are unable to produce green pigment. Mammals, reptiles and amphibians can only produce black and yellow-red pigment, and all colours and patterns on a frog's skin are the result of different combinations of these two pigments. Frogs contain variations of the yellow-red pigment. Most species of frogs appear green because of the pattern of refraction of blue light by special cells in their skin blending in with this yellow pigment. To answer the question - green frogs are not completely green when they developing. The green colouring becomes more pronounced as they grow.
