The yellow parts will be your trap muscles, and the pain there is more than likely due to improper posture and sitting in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time. You don't really tend to use your traps that much, and they're a hard muscle to pull or hurt in any way so it takes stress over a longer period of time to inflame them.
The green part COULD be muscle pain, but you can't be sure. It might have something to do with your spine. Not sure if I would call the area the 'lumbar' as it seems a bit too high up, but you never know. And lumbar spine problems are the most common.
I would suggest seeing a chiropractor. Tomorrow.
And after that start seeing a massage therapist, or if its a serious problem a physical therapist. They'll help you with exercises that should get you back on the road to recovery.
Worst thing you can do right now is ignore it. Things like that don't go away.
The pain might go away after a while if the green area is a disk area, as the tendons and muscles in the back have the amazing ability to support your movements and alleviate pressure on your disks, but you run the risk of a proper down the road, nevermind a herniated disk(if its just slipped now)...and pinched nerves which is pain you don't want to deal with.
