Hair turns green when you try to darken blonde hair (usually bleached-blonde hair). The reason for that is simply that the dye doesn't have enough red in it. The formulators assumed that the hair would turn reddish by lightening it with peroxide. Dark dyes often contain a lot of green to counteract red in the hair.

It's more likely that you'll have problems with hair turning too brassy. Peroxide-based haircolors can only lighten hair a few shades. If you really want to get to a dark ash blonde, you may need to bleach it.

Also, the chemical in frosting kits is simply hair bleach. Color remover is used when you want to lighten hair that's been dyed dark. You don't have that situation. I would recommend against your using haircolor remover.
