As long as you keep the filled bottles in the dark or covered it will be fine. I routinely use green bottles for lagers and such.
Ciders won't skunk...they don't have hops in them. Skunking stems from a chemical reaction between hop compounds in beer and sunlight....No hops/no skunk worries.
I mostly save clear and green bottles for ciders.

I never had a problem, as Hammy and revvy have said they will be fine. when I bottle I store my booze in either the basement in beer case boxes or in the dark fridge. Mostly I keg so no problem there.
Never had an issue using non-brown bottles.
I love using grolsch flip top bottles for bottling beer.
When I started brewing I threw away so many clear/green beer bottles because I went on the advice of "experts" saying non-brown bottles would lead to oxidation and skunking, bunch of crap as long as the booze is stored somewhere dark and cool.
