Red, blue, and green Mega Raid eggs have been spotted in the wild so just focus on the presence of the symbol itself as opposed to color. once the egg hatches the battle works the same as any other raid.

Mega Raid Guide Pokemon GO: Rewards
Your reward for completing a Mega Raid is Mega Energy, a newly introduced consumable that allows Pokemon to Mega Evolve for four hours. The type of Pokemon you battled in the raid determines what kind of Mega Energy you receive, so for example, battling Mega Blastoise gets you Mega Blastoise energy. The amount you receive is dependent on how quickly you finish the raid, so if you need a whole bunch make sure you get some friends together to challenge it.
