I was playing Pokemon Go and the map around me has a blue and green
color scheme. Does this mean anything or is it just for cosmetic purposes?

The different colours you see are different "environments". To quote the Pokemon GO FAQ:
"Environments" are based off GPS maps, and are somewhat accurate to the real world. You should expect to see water where there should be a lake, and grass where there should be grass. Buildings appear to always show up as grass. Also consider that it will not be 100% accurate; in the screenshot, above, the 'water' is actually a children's playground.
As a side note, if you stay in the same area for a while, the ground appears to slowly turn grey and patchy. From my observations, these are 'dry areas'. They show up if you are in the area for a long time, and Pokemon generally do not spawn when you are standing on them.
