Some white blood cells containing green coloured enzymes are secreted in you mucus (or 'snot') to destroy the cold virus and any bacteria that wish to infect the mucus at the same time. The dead white blood cells along with the dead viruses are removed in the mucus, making it look green.
Hope that answers your question!
If your snot is green, you no longer have a cold - where your nasal discharges should be clear, or whitish - you have a secondary (bacterial) infection.
This infection can last for a few days and then clear up, especially if you're healthy and eating well, and in a clean environment. However, even with the best possible lifestyle, a bacterial infection can last far too long.
It will make you feel very unwell as long as it lasts, and can lower the defenses of your immune system, leaving you open to more problems.
Unlike colds, which are caused by viruses, which can't be killed, secondary infections can be treated with antibiotics, that is, medication that fights the bacteria.
If the infection continues more than a few days, see your doctor; you will need a prescription for antibiotic medication. It is extremely important to take this medication as prescribed, that is, with food or without, how many times a day, or how many hours between the pills, and so on. It is vital that you take the whole package of pills as directed until they are all gone.
Taking them more often than the doctor or pharmacist tells you won't get you better any quicker; it'll just stop the pills from working properly.
While you're waiting for the infection to clear up, get plenty of rest, eat as well as you can, and stay right away from people who smoke.
