Friendly NPCs will have blue names.

The first mobs you see will have white names. They are neutral and will not attack you until you attack them. Neutral creatures become hostile when attacked, but will revert to neutral if you go out of attack range for long enough. Soon enough, you will find hostile monsters that will attack you automatically when you get within a certain range called aggro radius and eventually may find mobs a lot higher level then you having their names colored in orange. Almost all your kills will come from these hostiles. When you out level mobs their names will begin to fade to a grey color.

Other player characters will generally have white names. You may see that other players have blue or green names. This is caused depending on how you are grouped or in a guild. Players in your party group will show up as blue, while your fellow guild members will show as green. If, however, you are grouped with guild members they will be blue, not green. To add, on the PVP servers, you will occasionally see players with Red-colored names. This indicates that the Players have participated in Player vs Player action, whether it was Killing a player, or fighting a/some other player(s).
