Can someone please tell me why the green room is called the green room and what the purpose of the green room is?

I have actually been told there are two reasons for the GreenRoom being so called.
1. Extras and minor actors didn't have their own dressing room, hence green with jealousy at the stars for having their privacy

2. Extras and minor characters were new (hence green) to theatre.

Whaddya think??
