They are the code names for four of the five landing beaches at Normandy, France during the Allied cross-channel invasion that started June 6, 1944. The fifth code-name is 'Utah'.
The names of the Normandy D-Day beaches were chosen for operational security and simplicity. Each beach was assigned a code name that would be easy for Allied forces to remember and communicate, while also maintaining a level of secrecy. The names were derived from various sources, including the phonetic alphabet, with "Utah" and "Omaha" chosen for the American landing zones, and "Gold," "Juno," and "Sword" for British and Canadian forces. The use of such names helped to obscure the true nature of the invasion from the enemy.

As you note, these were code names given to the beaches. Then each of these were sub-divided and given code names such as Red, Green and Blue, as was common in these operations.

The names of the original beaches are Lion-sur-Mer--Courseulles, Courseulles--Arromanches-les Bains, and Coleville-sur-Mer--Vierville-sur-Mer.
