Green means the object does not have a shader assigned. This does happen if you use instances and copy those instances. It does also happen if the GPU does ran out of memmory. It does happen in messy scenes.

To not ran into those issues delete the history often. Dont copy instances. Dont import object from old maya versions.

First things first, clean the scene and manage it through the hypergraph

Hierarchy: http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-D71F6D34-FA77-43DC-9BF1-481123A682DC

Optimize scene: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/MayaLT/files/Scene-management-Optimize-scene-size-htm.html

Now reassign the shader. If it does not work after that then send us the file with a public dropbox link. You might have a broken shader engine which is MUCH harder to resolve.
