As opposed to "The tree I'm sitting next to is green in color"? I suppose. It's more stilted than formal.

I suppose. It's more stilted than formal. The natural sentence is "I'm sitting next to a green tree."

Note that if it's green and it's a tree, then it's always color, so you don't have to qualify "green."
