Yes, the flowers start to go green over time after several weeks of having the white blooms and the leaf browning is probably due to under watering or potentially too much direct sunlight

Green blooms are due to a lack of sunlight, move her closer to a window for whiter blooms!!

Green flowers at the end of flowering is normal. If the flowers come in green and stay green it could be an issue of too much light rather than too little. Peace lilies grow below other plants in nature so they prefer lower light. Mine thrives in a corner next to a window so it gets so direct sunlight.

Brown tips are quite common with peace lilies so if it is minimal you may want to just let it be. If it is on lower/older leaves they could be done with their lifecycle and can be trimmed off at the base. It can also be a reaction to overfertilizing so if you notice a connection to your fertilizing activity try using half strength. Another common cause of brown tips is a reaction to the water. You may find a regular flush of the mineral build up with a watering using distilled water will help. I’m a big “tap water only” waterer but I do give my peace lilies a distilled water “cleanse” about every six weeks.
