Robin Hood (1973)

Robin Hood is a strange example, being an anthrophormopic fox with orange fur. It still counts, though.

The Little Mermaid (1989)

Ariel has a green mermaid tail in contrast with her bright red hair. This was actually one of the reasons the directors of the film decided to make her into a redhead in the first place.

The fact that, at the end of the first movie, she becomes an ogress permanently and gains green skin as well doesn't help matters.

Source; TvTropes

Basically, this is when the main outfit of a redhead or auburn-haired character is green. This trope can sometimes be used to hint that somebody is of Irish descent, but sometimes, illustrators use it as a traditional pair of complementary colors or because they just feel like it. Bonus points if the character in question has nature-themed abilities.
The trope comes from a long-standing tradition among fashionistas that red hair contrasts best against green or blue attire, which is one reason redheads are encouraged to wear green to make a striking visual appearance. The color they encourage redheads never to wear is pink because the colors clash too much.
