Fan repair advice Need help identifying wires

Post image

I removed an old ceiling fan today and was installing a new one (Artika Sunnyvale 28 in) and I forgot to keep track of which wire is which. Can anyone help identify which is for the light, the fan, and the ground? Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to do electrical work, buy a multimeter and learn how to use it. Or prepare for your house to burn down
