The answer depends on the electrical wiring standards of the country you are asking about.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries using similar 60Hz household electricity supplies: the ground or "earth" cable is just bare wire or has green insulation.
Answer for countries in Europe and in other world areas which use similar 50Hz household electricity supplies: the earth or "ground" cable has yellow/green striped insulation. (Older earth wiring in the UK may still have bare wire or green insulation.)
