Default What wiring codes say about these wires?

I forgot to mention, here are the pictures of the wires, I suspect
Red=120V and black=Ground, white=Neutral? What the other one for? I
have auto-ranging digital multimeter that can do AC measurements. I
should just measure across Red & Black to see what I get?


Ground is green. From an old article title, "black is hot and white is
not (and vice is often versa)". I never found rules for other colors,
but in my experience I've found a lot of switched hot wires used red.
