so i have the arduino mega 2560 and the tv-out library is it posible to make it green text instead of white??

#include <TVout.h>
#include <fontALL.h>
#include "schematic.h"
#include "TVOlogo.h"

No, it is not. Not without additional hardware.

To make colour it is necessary to modulate the colour information with the luminance information with precise clock frequencies that the Arduino just can't generate. You would need an external clock at the "colour clock" frequency (what that is depends on if you're NTSC or PAL), and doing the modulation itself would require extra hardware.

If the Arduino were fast and precise enough to internally generate the required clock and synthesize a colour composite signal then yes you could, but alas it isn't fast enough.

You could feed the TVout signal to the green channel of a RGB TV.
Sync is usually on green too, but if you have separate sync, that should be easy to split off.
