    Why is my USB port orange? I learned what every color really means, and it's wild

    Black: USB 2.0, 480 Mbps
    White: USB 1.x , 12 Mbps
    Yellow: USB 2.0 or 3.0, "always on"
    Orange: Like yellow 3.0
    Blue: USB 3.0 SuperSpeed up to 5 Gbps
    Teal: USB 3.1, up to 10 Gbps
    Red: USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB 3.2, up to 10-20 Gbps, always on.
