In General ~ but not always !

A RED wire is permanently live (+ve), ie 'hot wired' to the battery.
A BLACK wire is switched live, ie only +ve when you turn the ignition on.
A GREEN wire is permanently grounded (-ve). Ie at all times connected to the -ve terminal of the battery, via the frame.
A LIGHT GREEN wire is switched earth, ie only connected to the frame when you press the horn button.
