If you have silver colored wire in the wall, it is aluminum. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, call an electrician. Aluminum will react with copper and wiring devices made for copper, so special hardware is required. Aluminum has problems with heating at bad connections, and has caused many house fires. Usually it' will be white connects to silver. If you follow it through, or use a continuity tester you'll see that the silver wire connects to the outer ring of the light sockets (for a light) or neutral for other circuits. "Usually" it is the odd color to black. If using lamp cord which can be white, black, brown, or clear, one of the strands can be different color. If for a light, it really doen't matter as long as you keep track of which is which. Generally you would go by the insulation color. There are exceptions to this rule so it helps to know where the power is coming from and where you want it to go. All wire is copper colored, the different one, silver, would go to black. In wiring, it is usually the "different" one that goes to black, but again, this is not a hard and fast rule.

When you come across this combination of mismatched wires, the normal matching is black to brown, white to blue, and green or bare to yellow green. There is often a diagram on the motor that will indicate which wires are hot, neutral, and ground.
