Each color means a different thing and there are green ones, they are just not as common

There should be a bare wire along with the red, black and green wires in the ceiling. It is possible that it was cut off short or tied up to the box somewhere. this is the same as the green wire.

In the US where do the blue red green and white wires on a fan go to when the ceiling has red black bare copper and white wires?

Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.


I see only a red and a green wire coming out from ceiling box. What are they and how do you connect them to a ceiling light?

Normally red or black is the hot wire and green is the ground. However someone may have used the green wire as the neutral wire which is normally white. Just connect the black wire from the light to the red wire and the white wire from the light to the green wire and see if it works. If not you have to pull the wires out of the ceiling box and see how they wired it.


Can a ceiling fan be installed without the blue and green wires only the black and white ones?

Assuming the ceiling fan also has lights then that is what the second lead is for. You can tie the black & blue together and attach them to black lead in the lighting box. The light and fan will come on together when you flip the light switch and you have to use the pull chain on it for control. ALWAYS connect the green ground wire to the house wiring ground. This is a SERIOUS safety and fire hazard issue if you do not.


How do you connect a ceiling fan with white green black and blue wires on the ceiling fan?

Black wire goes to (line) which is 110v comming in to ceiling box from light switch. It will connect to either black or red, which ever they ran. White is neutral and connects to white in box. Blue is for the light kit if you are using one. You may also connect it to the black if you just use the chain to turn on light.
