The phrase "a few green" is not correct in standard written English as it lacks a noun to clarify what is being described.
It can be used in contexts where a noun is implied or previously mentioned, but it is generally better to include the noun for clarity.
Example: "I bought a few green apples from the market."
Alternatives: "a few green items" or "a few green things".
