"I'm sorry" wouldn't work there, it's closer to "am I the reason." It is a shortened version of "is it my fault"

Do he suggest that he regret not having taught another person the fact that sage is green?

He's pointing out that his friend is sort of dumb for not knowing more specific words for colors and also that he's not to blame and his friend shouldn't direct any displeasure at him. The sentence is missing "Is it" at the beginning. It is implied and how some people speak sometimes.
Here's another example of this sort of thing:
A: I just saw this great movie! Dammit, what was it? Some space thing...
B: Star Trek?
A: No. Not that. Don't tell me. It's... Uhhhm.
B: Star Wars?
A: Dammit! Yes! That's it. I told you not to tell me.
B: My fault you have the memory of an old man?

Your specific examples always tell me how the words I asked about are actually used. It really helps.

The phrase "Is it" at the beginning of the sentence has been dropped. It would read:
"Is it my fault the only word your dumb ass knows is green?"
It actually implies that it's not his fault that Hank is too dumb to know that sage is a shade of green.
