Next time, if your question is unrelated to ML, write [Meta] in brackets so the admin know it's related to the site

I'm not sure this question is appropriate, but since I couldn't find an answer myself to this question (although I didn't try very hard), here's what I've observed:

Red means no one has replied.
Blue means someone has replied but the questioner isn't satisfied with an answer.
Green means the questioner has accepted an answer.

This answer is marked "community wiki".

Yes. Also, the answer itself is colored green if it is accepted and blue if it was posted by the person who asked the question.

I believe I've seen answers colored green that weren't marked as accepted, as well as questions marked green where no answer had been selected as accepted.
