and if i may ask: why so much green? any particular reason?
curious about the background
any idea why that is?
On the other hand Muslims wear white cloth in Hajj largest muslim gathering.
According to my knowledge Muhammad PBUH never emphazised on green color but he use to wear white colored cloths and turban.
The color of dome at Muhammad's grave is green this is main reason you will find lots of green mosques etc in countries at our region of world.

i'm always curious what is the reason behind things but sometimes feel stupid asking
If more of us were genuinely curious about others' cultures, we'd have a much more peaceful world. Photography can calm or incite. It's too bad, but it seems like for the last few years, it has been used more (by people with their own agendas) to incite religious intolerance than to evoke curiosity about the cultures and traditions of other peoples.
Natural selection is responsible for every living thing that exists.
D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.
IIRC from ny history books, the color of Mohammed [war] banners was green, too:-)
But these things are not fundamentals of Islam. All i know is about white color .

Colors are often rooted deep into nations history.
For instance, in ancient Russia (I mean "Russia" generally/geographically, 'cause at the time it was a whole mess of feodal city-states in constant war with each other, as well as with all possible external enemies from North, East, West and South), the color red was associated with beauty and power. Red was used for armor (shields), banners, shoes, dresses.. Interesting enough, the old word for "beautiful" was exactly and literally "red" (krasnyj, красный), and even in today language all the words that are associated with beauty share the same "root", which comes from the color "red".
In the interest of avoiding possible misunderstanding, this ancient russian red has absolutely nothing in common with so called "communist red", which seem to be originated in France during the French Revolution and was associated with blood.
Amazing how history works...
