Ungrounded Conductor - also known as the hot wire, usually black, but can be virtually any color, except it cannot be white, grey or green.
Grounded Conductor - also known as the neutral, it can be any color you want, as long as it is white or grey. That's a little humor (maybe literally), and means it has to be white or grey. I have been told that there are code changes in the works, I will try to keep this updated.
Grounding Conductor - also known as the ground, it too can be any color you want, as long as it is green or bare. Again, humor, your ground wire has to be green or bare.
