Come to think of it, "You look positively emerald" might be the only* line in Wicked which specifically highlights Elphaba's greenness as a good thing. There are other times that people say something positive about her appearance, of course, but in this case Elphaba is being seen as desirable because of her skin tone and not despite it or without drawing attention to it. It's really a very sweet moment that shows how much her and Glinda's relationship has grown, and that Glinda has learned not only to accept Elphaba's greenness but to love it.
And this makes what happens afterwards all the more tragic. Not that long after this exchange is perhaps the most negative line about Elphaba's skin in the show, in which it's called "an outward manefestorium of her twisted nature." You can even make the argument that the reason she wasn't stared at, mocked and rejected by the people of the Emerald City originally was because they were all wearing green glasses and couldn't tell that she was green, rather than a genuine acceptance. If this is the case then Glinda is the only person who truly loved her for her differences, and then they're immediately forced apart. But even if the people of the EC really did love and accept her for who she was, it's crushing how quickly Morrible is able to twist that into a reason to hate her.
*"Pink goes good with green" is perhaps another contender, but I don't think it's quite as explicitly complimentary of Elphaba herself -- there's an element of Glinda patting herself on the back for her own styling abilities with that one.
