Regular expression: (\n|^)>(.*?)(\n|$)

Replacement: $1<span style="color: #4CAF50;">&gt;$2</span>$3

What it does:

Whenever someone writes > it greentexts whatever is after the symbol, as long as it is on a new line

Result:
>hello

Problem:

With the above code, this happens:

>if you greentext
>many lines
>it only makes
>every other
>line green

How do I fix this? I did look for previous threads about this, but no fix for this problem.

Thanks

Maybe trying non-capturing groups for the newline / start of string and newline / end of string?

Regular expression: (?:\n|^)&gt;(.*?)(?:\n|$)

Replacement: <span style="color: #4CAF50;">&gt;$1</span>

Note that I haven't tried this.
