No, Soylent Green is made from plankton (thus the green color).
Soylent Red is basically corn flour with a touch of pepper (for a Southwestern flavour).
The Classic Soylent Yellow is the only one made from soy and lentils (for high protein); the popularity of it from back when it was the only Soylent product available is the reason the Corporation has kept the Soylent branding for the expanded line of product.

If I were faced with dead human flesh, I know my flesh would be green.
Human flesh can be green - examples are the gallbladder and also tissues affected by a chloroma (a soft tissue tumor representing a manifestation of acute myelogenous leukemia).
The pedant (or pissant) in me has to comment on the latter statement - normal breast tissue from anyone, including the young is just unremarkable fatty and fibrous tissue (we see a lot of breast reduction samples in our practice). None are green, thankfully.
If you’re a forensic pathologist you undoubtedly get to see a number of green humans, which is why I’m glad to be a hospital-based anatomic and clinical pathologist.
Exactly, which makes it uncool. It’s just a pail of pale yellow fat, mostly.
I! Heartily! Agree! I! prefer! Green! Breast! Tissue!

Although I agree with what has been said regarding fresh human meat not being green, I would point out that sometimes it is best to not disagree with pretty girls. Especially very pretty girls.
And she was. Nice and meaty, but not fat, too.
Meat’s dream…
My veins are decidely green. Is it the deoxygenated blood that causes it ? If so, then maybe if you drain a person of blood and they don’t have much in the way of fat under their skin they would look greenish.
OP: Define ‘meat’.
Meat is muscle.
Is muscle green?
The one time I’ve ever seen a green person was, coincidentally, while billfishing. Huge swells, all of us were chumming over the side. I look at my friend and burst out laughing because without question he had a noticable green hue to his face. It didn’t last beyond him being sick though, which was a pity because it was a real pick me up.
I think it might look green-ish, but mostly it seems that way because of the contrasting redness. If you take an albino rat and perfuse it with saline, replacing all the blood, the eyes go white, the arteries look white, the liver turns a tan color, the intestines and lungs turn white, and the skin goes whiter than it was before, but the muscles are still pink, though paler than they were. Since human muscle is made of the same basic bits as rat muscle, it’s probably that paler pink color, unless we’re missing some of the blood when we perfuse. (Possible, but we do get enough of it out to avoid antibodies staining the blood vessels in CNS tissue.)
Oh! I thought the OP was about being “green” as in environmentally sustainable. Human flesh is, of course, good for providing nutrients and worm food when planted in the ground, nalthough cremation uses a lot of energy and doesn’t do much. Living human flesh is not at all green, and in fact is one of the least green things on the planet.
What does a sleeveless dress, or alternatively a sweater, have to do with human flesh?
I was wondering this too.
I’m guessing, in this case, it means someone who committed suicide by jumping off a building.
