You should never trust any wiring without using a tester (get one at hardware or home improvement store. ) in USA, White/grey/bare wire is neutral, colored wire is hot (live). In a pure 240v connection, there are two hot wires and no neutral wire. Sometimes they still use black and white for this. If you are seeing black and red wires you might be looking at a split phase panel -- you'd best check that out
