How would normal colors be affected if a planet's atmosphere was green?

Good day everyone.

I've recently finally gotten around to writing a sci fi novel but need help on some of the science of a few concepts I would like to incorporate in the novel. I'll start with the first idea / question.

I'm looking to have a planet that has a green sky (Emerald like) but on the surface, I'm hoping to not have to worry about accounting for it relating to the descriptions of normal color. From a science point of view...probably not possible. But i would like to know -

1) Is there a why to have a green sky without affecting normal color descriptions on the planet's surface?

2) If not, how would the colors be affected? (Would only blue colors be affected?)

The viewpoint would be from pilot approaching the planet for the first time. He will eventually crash on the planet where the civilization is not a space faring one. So I guess the questions would be from the perspective of:

A) the pilot and B) the people on the planet

Appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks.

Cheers, Primordial
