Green or bare is always ground in your application. You can identify black wires above the size of #2 all other wires must be the same color the length of the conductor. Go buy the right wire SER is my recommendation.

You can get the correct wire at your local electrical supplier. It will cost a little more. But if you need something just a bit different, you can get that there as well, and perhaps not in other places.
You don't want to hear this but it needs to be said. Your existing wiring in that panel is not up to snuff. It is clear that an unqualified person has done some of it. Worse, there are some code violations and unsafe conditions in there, if the picture shows what I think it does. Your 6/3 is the wrong cable for the job; you have two individual conductors entering the panel at the top; wires are routed such that they could short to the feeder or buss bars; improper support for some of the cables.
