The grounding conductor is green, green with a yellow tracer or bare copper.
Grounded conductor is white 120/240 volt & gray 480 volt. Grounding conductor is green or green with yellow.
The recommended grounding conductor size for a residential electrical system is typically 6 AWG copper wire.
A grounded conductor, typically the neutral wire in an electrical system, is usually colored white or gray. However, in some cases, it may be a different color depending on local electrical code regulations.
No, the bare copper grounding conductor can not be in a conduit with other conductors. It can be in conduit by itself to provide mechanical protection for the wire.
For a dryer installation, a 10/3 wire with a grounding conductor should be used.

Generally a #6 copper conductor will do the job. The key to this grounding is that the ground conductor has to be taken back and connected to the service ground wire for optimal performance.
A multi-wire circuit requires only one equipment grounding conductor for the entire circuit. Each branch circuit within the multi-wire setup shares this one ground wire as it connects to the main grounding point.
The grounding wire is not intended to be a load-carrying conductor in ordinary use, but rather a SAFETY conductor. Grounding wires are often "one size smaller" than the associated load conductors in the same cable.
The bare copper conductor in non-metallic sheathed cable serves as the grounding conductor. It is designed to safely carry and redirect any electrical faults or leaks to the earth to prevent electric shock or fires. This conductor is uninsulated to facilitate conductivity and grounding capabilities.
The grounding electrode conductor size chart provides information on the recommended size of the conductor based on the type of grounding electrode and the size of the service entrance conductor.
