Green is the commonest color in the Aurora Borealis as green is produced when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms of oxygen at a high level.
The Aurora over Greenland would sometimes show colors of blue and red, though probably not as often.
Green auroras result from interactions with oxygen atoms at higher altitudes in the Earth's atmosphere. When solar wind particles collide with these oxygen atoms, they can emit green light at a specific wavelength, creating the distinctive green color of the aurora borealis.
The usual color of aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is green. This is caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's atmosphere. However, depending on the altitude and the type of gas particles involved, aurora borealis can also appear as red, pink, purple, blue, or yellow.
The rarest color in auroras is blue. Blue auroras occur at higher altitudes than other colors, around 60 miles above the Earth's surface. They are less commonly seen compared to green and red auroras.
Aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is typically seen in shades of green, but can also appear as pink, red, blue, and purple. The color variations are caused by different gases in the Earth's atmosphere reacting to solar particles.
From space; a colored halo or some ''glowing veigns'' On Earth they often look like green clouds. On RARE occaisions you get the stereo-typical ''curtain'' like aurora. Sometimes they are just thin glowing strips of light in the sky, and sometimes you can't really see them, because they flash really quickly for several flashes before stopping.

The aurora borealis is located in the arctic. They are so bright that people think that it is brighter than the sun. The colours of these lights can be green, yellow, reed, orange, violet and blue. The aurora started when the earth begun more than 60 million years ago just before the dinosaurs started.
An Aurora Australis or an Aurora Borealis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles interact with the edges of the earth's magnetic field and when they collide with the gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.

Any color on the light spectrum. This is violet, blue, red,orange, yellow, and green, with violet being the lest common, and green the most common
They are the northern lights. The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as 'Aurora borealis' in the north and 'Aurora australis' in the south.. Auroral displays appear in many colours although pale green and pink are the most common. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have been reported. The lights appear in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow.

Greenland is, in fact, not green. It is a very icy place, ironically.
