The Monster was supposed to be a sickly pale/tallow color. Dracula too was supposed to have a very pale, deathly white color. Some of the Frankenstein (and Dracula) marketing material incorrectly portrayed them as green, because that’s the color the makeup (grease paint) had to be in order to produce the white/grey/tallow looks the director(s) were going going for.
For Frankenstein’s monster the association with green never really went away, thanks in large part to the Munsters. Dracula at least, thankfully, was able to escape relatively unscathed, despite some of the early marketing material portraying him as a hideous green monster.
