Well, if it really is that hard to produce a green ink that doesn't involve harsh materials, or if Apple is spending extra to use such an ink over the cheaper nastier inks, then it's notable and something worth bragging about and putting on the tin.

Does this new color cost extra? Or are they subsidizing a higher cost across all sales?

No, they charge the same price for all colors. Frankly the only products I’ve seen with different prices for different colors is autos.

There were also black MacBooks.

In some years they do differentiate so some color is only available on the expensive models.

I think the RED editions were slightly more expensive, if i remember correctly.
