I think I found the earliest mentions of the Green Knight's skin being green. First screenshot is from "A Study of Gawain and the Green Knight" by George Lyman Kittredge, and the second screenshot is from "Romance, Vision & Satire English Alliterative Poems of the Fourteenth Century" by J.L Weston.

I've read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight a while back, but I don't remember the Green Knight's Skin ever being referred to as green. I did some digging, and it seems to me that the Green Knight's skin being green originates from JRR Tolkien's and E.V Gordon's Scholarly book on the poem.
