Dragonflights
Red Dragonflight
Although they are shown as green dragons in Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness they are actually red dragons of the Red Dragonflight, the color can be explained as they were almost always fighting under the Blackrock clan color which was red. Their dragonqueen Alexstrasza was captured by the Dragonmaw clan and thats the reason they served the Horde.[1]

Black Dragonflight
In Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal they were also shown as green dragons, but most of them were members of the Black Dragonflight, leaded by Deathwing; again the color may be explained as they almost always fighted under the Shadowmoon clan color which was balck.
Note: There are still some red dragons serving the Horde during this war.W2BnetMan 86
The black dragons actually joined the Horde because of a debt, the Horde saved them from the humans at Blackrock Spire.[2]
Strategy
By combining their incredible destructive powers with a keen intellect, the Dragons represent the single most powerful force within the Horde. The devastating flame that issues forth from the mouths of the older serpents can level any number of enemy troops, while their powerful wings allow them to tirelessly soar through the skies.[1]
