I don't know about the other countrries but in the U S the equipment ground wire is bare in the romex style cable. In stranded flexible rubber cord it is insulated green. And in the case of three way switches we use three wires plus the eqquipment ground making a total of four. These being black, red,white and bare in the romex.

Hi Dale, Although I am blind now, and realize that things may have changed in the last four and a half years that I have been blind, however, having said that, I do know that in some cases, you can opt to go with the bare ground wire, or, if it makes you feel better, you can get the ground wire with a green housing. In essence, the three wires come in three colours, black, white and green or bare, depending on what you choose to go with.
