Biblically speaking, I'm not sure about a green comet, but your question brought the star wormwood to mind; the star that falls from the sky. But that's later in the revelation prophecy. The prophecy on the "star called wormwood" is it strikes the water and makes the water undrinkable on most of the earth.
I think I got that right. I shot from the hip with my answer and I'm half asleep. Lol
Good question tho. I'll look more into that one for ya.

Addition: 10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter. (Revelation 8:10-11, ESV)
So third trumpet. So about halfway thru the whole prophecy.
Apsinthos is wormwood in Greek. It means bitterness or calamity. It's used throughout the Bible to indicate calamity or destruction.
I'll throw this in the mix for discussion:
Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
The word pale in Greek is Khloros.
Which means GREEN.

It's actually a pale green (green/yellow).
Think of it like this. What colour is Chlorine? This is where Chlorine get's its name from.
Look up the word prasinos. It's another word in Ancient Greek. In modern Greek, it's prasino.

Does this mean it will be visible without a telescope on Feb 1?

The comet has been steadily gaining brightness and will make its closest approach on Feb. 2, when it comes within 26.4 million miles of the planet — 110 times the distance to the moon. From the Northern Hemisphere, the comet is likely to be faintly visible to the naked eye.
But you don’t have to wait until February to spot this visitor. The coming weekend may offer favorable viewing opportunities with a pair of binoculars when the new moon creates darker skies.
The comet is known as C/2022 E3 (Z.T.F.) because astronomers discovered it in March 2022 using a telescope on Palomar Mountain in California called the Zwicky Transient Facility (or Z.T.F.).
C/2022 E3 (Z.T.F.), for example, is now glowing green because ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed by a molecule in the comet called diatomic carbon — that is, two carbon atoms fused together. The reaction emits green light
Comet C/2022 E3 (Z.T.F.) made its closest approach to the sun on Jan. 12, and the comet is now steadily brightening as it swings toward the Earth. While the comet won’t pass us until Feb. 2, it is already nearly visible to the naked eye — an encouraging sign for viewing opportunities, said Mike Kelley, an astronomer at the University of Maryland and the co-lead of the solar system working group at the Zwicky Transient Facility
