Mostly it will appear green although other colors ranging to red will be occasionally observed.
Green - at lower altitudes. Fairly high concentration of atomic oxygen and higher eye sensitivity in green make green auroras the most common.
Blue and purple emissions - typically at the lower edges of the "curtains", show up at the highest levels of solar activity
Red - at the highest altitudes. Low concentration of atoms and lower sensitivity of eyes at this wavelength make this color visible only under more intense solar activity
Yellow and pink are are possible as a mix of red and green or blue.
Note: Other shades of red as well as orange may be seen on rare occasions; yellow-green is moderately common. As red, green, and blue are the primary colors of additive synthesis of colors, in theory practically any color might be possible

Why is the Aurora Borealis above Greenland green?
Green is the commonest color in the Aurora Borealis as green is produced when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms of oxygen at a high level. The Aurora over Greenland would sometimes show colors of blue and red, though probably not as often.
What colors so northern lights come in?
Green and pink are most common, but purple isn't all that unusual. The colors of the aurora are determined by what elements are ionized by the solar wind in the ionosphere.
