They are wired with romax and the colors of the conductor insulation
are Black, Red, and White.

No bare wire??

With the current cost of copper, I hate to replace these runs.

Standard color codes are of course black, white, copper/gnd. If I
rewire this for 110v what colors should I put where? I read somewhere
in the code that you can re-identify a cable with colored tape (green
for instance for the wire used for ground)

That is not correct. Grounding conductors larger than 6AWG are permitted to be
re-identified in that manner, but not 6AWG and smaller. [2005 NEC, Article
250.119]

So, should I use black-hot white-neutral and red-green taped at each
end for ground? Does this meet NEC code or at least come close??

No.
