'green' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with company in a worrier turned kind of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is located in the answer.
'company' could be 'co' (abbreviation) and 'co' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
