Why is the color of my Hydrangea flower turning green? I live in Tucson, Arizona and the weather is hot and dry. I have the plant in a pot on the northside under my porch. I water it daily.

It could be the type of soil the plant is in. I know that affects whether blooms are pink or blue. My bush is blooming white this summer !
I have a reblooming hydrangea in a pot that was on the patio all summer. Can I keep it in the pot in the garage over the winter months? Should it be trimmed back now? I live in Missouri, Zone 6 for gardening.
Yes, you can keep it in the garage. Just make sure to water it about once a month.

My hydrangea is in a pot and gets a lot of sun. I live in the high desert of California. Is it getting too much sun?
Most likely this is sunscald, which is like sunburn in plants. This typically happens to plants that are in locations that are a bit too sunny for them. If possible, move the plant to a location that is not quite so intense or you can try to shade it some by placing a large umbrella (or something similar) over it. It should correct itself over time as the plant acclimates itself.
Potted hydrangeas have mildew. Had to move them to the shade in my patio due to fierce sun and heat.
Yes, they should work fine on hydrangeas. The powdery mildew can also be treated effectively with neem oil. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
I am wondering if I should buy some sort of grow light for my indoor hydrangea. My apartment is pretty dark. The most light I can get is probably not direct sunshine.
Hydrangeas are best grown outdoors. If you use one cool white and one warm white bulb in a two bulb fluorescent fixture. You will need to keep the bulbs within 18'' of the top leaves of your plant.
I asked a question on why there are no flowers on plants and advice came back with reference to indoor plants, but I said mine were outdoors in container and no flowers for a couple of years. Can you advise?
Have they been fertilized and, if so, could you have used too much nitrogen? Usually, when plants don't bloom, fertilizer can be to blame. Too much nitrogen can lead to lush, green growth with little to no blooms. This can normally be offset with the addition of high-phosphorus fertilizer, or bone meal. Here is more information on that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm

It's a potted blue hydrangea.
This can happen for many reasons, but I would guess that it is due to either a lack of water or it has just reached the end of its blooming cycle. Try soaking the pot (with the plant in it) in a container of water. Sometimes when you water, it might not be going into the center of the soil, leaving the plant too dry.
