My muscovy is around 4-5 months and he/she is supposed to be a black and white but its irridesant green and black with white coming in. Is it a drake? What colors are ducks?

Muscovies can not be sexed by color to the best of my knowledge. Can you post a picture of your bird? Drakes generally mature at a third to 50% larger than hens.

I think that's a hen 
I think her tail would already be a bit curled if she was a drake

Muscovy drakes do not get a tail curl. That is common only to mallards and mallard derived breeds.I think that's a hen
