Terra's hair is green. Just like Lenna and Faris have pink and purple hair. Blonde is just something special in Asia. Even Lightning was drawn blonde by Yoshitaka Amano. Granted, Terra was at first supposed to be blonde but that is as irrelevant as Sephiroth originally being Aerith's first boyfriend. Yes, they wanted her to stand out and as it was changed they probably never wrote something additíonally in their script. Not that uncommon hair is something new in fantasy.
Squenix seem to disagree about the hair color, seeing how any time any of them show up in new media they are usually their original hair color and even then they are inconsistent. Lenna's Air Brigade sprite is pink haired but her portrait art has always been based on the Blond Amano design. Terra only seems to have green hair in the VI ports/Mobile remake but she's blond in every other media she shows up in. Faris also goes back and forth between the mobile games on being blond or having purple hair. To be honest, I feel it's a silly argument on what their "proper" hair color is as it seems to me that Squenix is inconsistent because they simply leave it up to the fan on what is canon and what is not because they don't care.
