My response is based on this being a 3 phase, 3 wire system.
If corner grounded, the grounded conductor must be white or gray. Most would probably go with black, red and white, but could easily be confused with a 120/240 single phase system, so is probably a good idea to have additional signage indicating what is there. I think 2014 has requirements to mark equipment with the nominal system voltage, went to a code changes class last weekend and seems to recall that coming up, probably in art 110, but possibly 408?

I was refering to an ungrounded system, I should have stated that in my response. As KW mentioned it could be corner grounded since the OP didn't say what it is.
