While I'll agree it's not Code-compliant as others have said, on

work I'd not bother to change out a wire; just mark the ends and go on

correct color coding from there.

This is, of course, assuming that they did actually do what is said and
not a mis-identification...


This wiring must be a conduit.

Unless I'm missing something, all you really need to do is run a while
neutral wire.

What do you expect that to accomplish? The OP never said he's missing a
neutral wire -- he said some previous person used a green wire as a hot
conductor. How will running a white neutral wire change that?

Whatever.

My point is that he can put the right colors into the conduit. The green
can be used as a ground, etc.

One of the justifications for conduit is that you can install what you need
and pull out what you don't need.

Since there is wire installed, all he has to do is pull one wire and measure
it and pick up the lengths and colors (& sizes) he wants at the home depost
or whatever.
