hi charley,

Green when ripe is a double recessive. There is yellow flesh, recessive to red. And there is "green flesh" also recessive, which makes a "black" with red flesh, and a "green when ripe" with yellow. You need yellow/yellow + gf/gf to get a gwr.

Yes, pink also has the recessive skin color (clear epidermis) but I don't think that matters, you can have a gwr with clear epi or yellow, just like with a black it can be pink-black or brown-black.
