the color your eyes evolved to see more shades of than any other

means The color between blue and yellow in the spectrum, the hue of grass and growing leaves — and, by extension, the state of being unripe, inexperienced, or newly arrived.

from From Old English 'grene,' which traces back through Proto-Germanic 'groniz' to a root meaning 'to grow' — the same family that gives us 'grass' and 'grow.' So at its heart, green isn't really a color word at all: it's the color of things that are growing, named for the act rather than the shade.
