Well we were evaluating this in my recent college course at Princeton and after many hours of carful analysis we were able to come to a conclusion that the color green in sir gawian and the green knight stands for love and betrayal. What most readers understand is that Sir Gawain fell into the deceiving lust of the lords wife. The kiss in the story symbolizes wealth and courage, which in return gawain gets nothing from the lord. This betrayal furys Gawian and turns him into this green giant creature barly even reconizable from his normal state. Therefore the point we are getting to is sir Gawain has been fighting his self esteem issues and is indeed the true green knight himself.
