The green card got its nickname because the first modern permanent resident cards, issued in 1946, were printed on green paper. But here's the twist: for decades afterward, the card wasn't green at all. Over the years, the government changed its color several times—including blue, tan, and even pink—yet people continued calling it a "green card." In 2010, USCIS brought the green color back, along with updated security features. Sometimes the most famous names in immigration law have surprising origins.
