¿Qué significa Greens and blues ?

I found the phrase ’strings of greens and blues' or 'lines of greens and blues' in lyrics of Mr. Big and Cyndi Lauper.
What did they want to mean with these phrases?

I have no idea. Song lyrics is not a good way to learn English, in my opinion.

It is difficult to tell in English too. It's like a poem. The meaning is not obvious.

"Greens and blues" is not a common phrase. A Google search yielded an article titled "11 Answers To the Biggest Mysteries In Songs and Lyrics." The article says that for Mr. Big's lyrics in the song "To Be With You", "greens" is for jealousy and "blues" is for depression.
