If I cut this 500 ft roll into four sections can I use the fourth piece as ground and does there have to be any color difference for wire


Hello and thank you for your question. No — you cannot use a black THHN conductor as a ground unless it is properly re‑identified, and even then, only if it meets NEC rules. If you have any additional questions or feedback, please reach out to us at consumersupport@southwire.com.

The NEC doesn't allow #6 and smaller conductors to be re-identified which means the neutral must be white and the ground must be green. The single phase hot conductors can be the same color. Check with your AHJ for their interpretation and any possible exceptions they may make. By the way, you only need a #10 grounding conductor.
