There are three standards UL 467 that covers bonding and grounding and UL 486 covers Listed and 486-A/B is a more stringent test that covers both.
UL 508 40.1.5 does state that when used for grounding it does not require it to be green but plainly identified with markings GROUND, GROUNDING, G, GR, etc.
