I like the idea of painting the geology - I'm rereading Richard Fortey's book "The Earth" at the moment - apparently a lot of the very deepest rocks are green in colour, so you may not be far off.

Very different and eye catching. Reminds me of something I read in a book years ago, where there was 2 worlds. Really captured my imagination this. Thank you for posting.
