Green with envy - very envious
Before Shakespeare, a green complexion (i.e. pale and sickly) was associated with other things besides envy: these included fear, ill-humor and illness. In a famous passage Iago warns Othello to 'beware, my lord, of jealousy;/It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock/The meat it feeds on' (III, 3, lines 169-71), a metaphor from the green-eyed cat family which is prone to play with (mock) its victims as a cat plays with a mouse. Though green has continued to have other associations, notably immaturity and gullibility, it is envy that now predominates.

Green with envy means you are very jealous of someone or something.
The saying "Green with envy" comes from the Marvel Comic book character the HULK. When the HULK got angry and envious he would destroy worlds! This is the true meaning of the saying.
It is just a silly way of saying you were jealous - green is supposed to be the color of jealousy, and the term "plumb" just means "very" or "totally."
