Some are red, some are green. In any case, they are always brightly lit and very easy to see due to the requirement of "high contrast".
UL 924, the standard that includes "illuminated exit signs" allows them to be either red or green, leaving it to various state codes to select one, if there is a preference. NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) does not specify any requirement for color of EXIT signs -- only that they have high contrast of the letters and background. Exit signs may usually be illuminated internally or externally.
