You must be talking of a specific installation. Wire colours can be any colour that they are specified to be.
You have a 3 way switch. Your black wire is the hot wire. Your green wire is the ground wire. Your red and white wires go to the light and other switch. You should have gotten a wiring diagram with your switch.
3 colors? red black green and yellow? i count 4... red is your active, or live wire. black is return, or negative wire. green is your earthing wire and yellow is more than likely a control, for a switch, possibly a heating fan or towel railing?
Yes, in North America the ground wire is always identified as a green colour conductor.
In the electrical code in use in the United States, black is the "hot" side of the line, white the "neutral" and green is always "Ground".
If the home was wired properly the black or red wire are hot the white is neutral and the green is ALWAYS the ground
the black wire is the hot wire
No. Green should always signify the ground wire.
The ground wire is a black. The positive wire is red. The speaker wires are yellow and green. The auxiliary wire is white.
The red wire is the positive wire. The black wire is the ground wire. The green wire is the speaker wire. The white wire is the auxiliary wire.

In a DC circuit Red is positive and Black is negative. In AC systems White is neutral and Ground is green or green-yellow stripe.
The black and red colors carry power. The white indicates neutrally while the green wire is the wire to the earth.
Brass (or bronze) is the "hot" wire, (Black, red, or blue) silver is for the neutral (the white wire) and green is for, well, the green or bare wire

Black in a black/red/green set, or blue in a blue/brown/green set. The hot is red or brown and the earth is green (note: I'm in New Zealand and assuming that the colors are the same).
