As the entire album is supposed to be based on the US civil war, "blue trampling over grey" seems like it would be witnessing union troops 'trampling over' confederacy troops - the colours of their respective uniforms.
"green over brown" is less clear - the only thing I can I can think of is grass growing over the mud of the battlefield.

You are halfway home with the "green over brown" lyric. I think it is the grass growing over the dirt/mud/soil lying atop their graves.
