I found the following sentence in a textbook:
信号は緑から黄色に変わります。
However, according to the following wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ao_(color)
A green traffic light is described as 青.
Is the sentence from the textbook incorrect?

According to this post, the traffic light color was originally officially 緑, but (because 青 spans the color spectrum from green to blue) people soon started to call them 青 instead, and eventually the official designation was changed to 青 as well.
Basically, 緑 is considered a shade of 青.
