Some basic info about USB
(lemmy.world)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Black is USB 2, blue is USB 3, and Orange or Yellow are usually "always on" and/or 2.4 amp or some other kind of thing like that.
Not on all vendors tho - coloring was an optional part of the standard. Dell often uses grey for USB3
It's the variety and surprise here that adds novelty and excitement to life.

I definitely have a number of devices that use newer-than-USB 3.0 and use blue.
I don't think any of my devices actually use teal, regardless of what they support. Oh...hmm. Wait, I think my last desktop motherboard did that.
goes to investigate
Yeah, it has teal and blue ports.
My current motherboard uses blue or red for everything USB-A, so clearly isn't using blue to indicate "USB 3.0", and labels every port, blue or red, in English as "USB 3.2". So it clearly isn't using the port color to indicate purely speed.
Another source of novelty and excitement.
So much excitement.
