Check out Johnny's for unusually colored carrots.  That would be  
www.johnnyseeds.com.  They have orange, red, yellow, white and  
purple/black.  I've never seen a green.  That doesn't mean they  
aren't out there, but, I am an organic farmer (my other day job) and  
I try and keep up on these things.

They are really making strides with the new (old) colors.   The taste  
and texture of these new varieties has improved immeasurably over the  
ones which were sold only a few years ago.  None of these are  
directly related to the medieval carrots, as they are all knew  
hybrids from the orange carrot.  They might have strains of the wild  
(white or purple) carrot mixed back in.
