An actual globe, like the one that sat in your classroom when you were in elementary.

Well. I've just flown over on GoogleEarth and it looks a sort of shitty greenish-brown!

Your question seems odd...but maybe you are serious...and there is a serious answer.
If you are referring to maps & globes that use color codes to indicate elevation above (or below) sea level...then you have a good question with a generally accepted answer.
The most commonly used colors range from dark green (at sea level)....through light green, yellow,gold,tan, light brown and dark brown.
Without looking a map....I can pass along some examples which should be close to correct. (Check with Rand McNally or National Geographic to verifiy this information.)
Dark Green: Florida, Louisiana, Washington & Oregon around Seattle & Portland
Light Green: Inland regions of the Gulf Coast,New England and The Mid-Atlantic 50-100 miles from the Coast, California's Central Valley
Yellow: Ohio, Illinois, IOWA
Gold: Lower Elevations of the Appalachian Mountains, Nebraska, Colorado (East of Denver)
Tan: Higher Elevations of the Appalachian's,West Texas
Light Brown: Colorado (West of Denver),Sierra Nevada, Coast Range
Dark Brown: Higher Ridges & Peaks of The Rocky Mountains
These are only examples....and I'm sure....there will be some who will correct my examples...however..this might be the 'colors' to which you refer.
(There is no 'absolute' color-coding...it is up to the different cartographers & publishers.)
Study as if you will soon inherit the world...for you surely will.

It depends on which company made the globe.

It is totally not regulated, it can be anything, depending on the choice of the globe maker.

Rand McNally? It was orange on that United States geography puzzle I played when I was a tyke. I don't know who made that.
Rand McNally...I'm not sure, it could be vomit green...the color in the Excorcist.
The world globe that sits in snooty old men's library's...probably brown or some shade of it.

Depends on who makes it.
