The screw terminals on the receptacles are color coded.
Green is Ground or the bare wire,Brass color screw is the hot or black wire and silver color screw is the neutral or white wire.Sometimes and depending on the wiring in the wall the hot wire will be a different color such as red or blue but the neutral is ALWAYS the white.Before you do any work shut off the breakers or better yet do what I do and shut off the mains for whole house.It helps to work with a flashlight .
