It is fixable. I've had blue lines. If you take the whole front speaker grill cover, there is a Red, Green, Blue potentiometers that can be adjusted.

Sounds like a conergence circuit failure, probably a couple of AMPs and a few discreet components. Probably 250-300 repair

Sony KP-51WS500 projection tv. Screen is green with curved lines

The green picture tube has an internal short. Happened a lot with that model. The tubes are no longer availible. But a reputable company called Video Display will rebuild the tube completely. But the tube must be pulled and shipped to them. Most repair shops would charge around $400 to $500 for the complete job.

Red and green curved lines when the screen is dark

Your convergence board is going out. this will have to be replaced. i would take a look at the main logic board as well. it could have minor point breakage.
