I'm currently looking at using colored see-through water bottles. Mold is green because it reflects green light, so I have a theory that a green bottle would grow the least amount of mold because it only allows green light through which the mold can't absorb.
So does bottle color make any difference on mold growth? If so, is it worth it to look specifically for green bottles?

Mold doesn't need light to grow, in fact it thrives in darker environments. It needs warm temperatures, water, and food (sugars/salt from backwash). So those three things are independent of water bottle color.
As an aside, in terms of light filtration, a green water bottle isn't a perfect green light filter. So while it will have some effect on the color spectra of light passing through, it won't be the same as say a green filter for imaging.
In summary, the color of your bottle won't affect mold growth. Just make sure to clean it well (scrub with a toothbrush or similar) and sterilize (boiling water) every once in a while (Ideally ~1/week).
I can also unfortunately say from experience that green water bottles can indeed have mold grow inside them.

Sterilize the bottle regularly.
Drain the bottle upside down after emptying or cleaning.
Store the empty bottle dry inside.
Leave the cap off the bottle when in storage.
