Black and green I have not tried, but they are abrasive pastes I think rated on either side of the red. That would be pretty easy to look up.
I treat my strops maybe once every 6 months or so, maybe less frequently. I don't use pasted strips much anymore but when I did I'd maybe touch up an edge with it every month or two...
