As it turns out, that's not a requirement. USB A ports can be white, black, blue, red, yellow, green, teal or purple... or pretty much any other color in the future. It's normal for a manufacturer to make all the ports of a given generation on a single device the same color, but even that is not mandatory. (There are some websites that claim a mandatory assignation of color to speed. Note that they don't cite sources.) -dsr-
