I may be mistaken - but I thought Blue USB A port indicated High Speed / USB 3.0. Should USB 2.0 port be Blue?

Noticed this too. But it seems it's not strict:

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0: "It is recommended that manufacturers distinguish USB 3.0 connectors from their USB 2.0 counterparts by using blue color for the Standard-A receptacles and plugs,[2] and by the initials SS."
