What color is the ground wire when you have red black and white and I changed a switch that has a night light on it and it says it has to be grounded but these are the only wires i have?

Look in the very back of the switch box. There you should see a screw with a bare copper wire wrapped around it. That is your ground wire. Loosen the screw and add a piece of wire under it and then re tighten it. Extend it out to where you can connect it to the switch. The extended piece of wire should be bare or green so as not to get it confused with the other "hot" and neutral wires. Re install your new switch. Just as a note of interest, when you screw the switch to the box this also grounds the switch frame if the box is grounded. The code states that if there is a ground screw on the switch this must be the method that is used. What this allows is that when the switch is removed from the box the ground will still be intact to the switch for safety reasons.
