Nor would be used in cases where both adjectives were false (i.e. "It is neither green nor blue"), and or would be used in cases where one of the adjectives was true and the other was false (i.e. "It is either green or blue").

Use "or" when presenting options or alternatives, and use "nor" to present a negative alternative. For example: "You can have tea or coffee." (using "or" for options) and "He neither ate nor drank." (using "nor" for a negative alternative).
