The sum of the probabilities of all the colors must add up to 1 (100%).
Given that the probability of landing on a red section is 20% and blue is 10%, we can determine the probability of landing on a green section by subtracting the sum of the probabilities of red and blue from 1:
1 - 0.20 - 0.10 = 0.70
Therefore, the probability of the arrow landing on a section colored green is 70%.
So, the answer is: 70%
