The appearance and color identification of USB 2.0

Nov 06, 2026

According to the official specification released by the USB Developers Forum (USB-IF), the color markings on the USB interface correspond as follows: black represents USB 2.0, white represents USB 1.0, and blue represents USB 3.0 and subsequent high-speed protocols.

Regarding the transmission speed of USB 2.0
Apart from the above three officially designated colors, the remaining colors (such as green, purple, orange, red, etc.) are defined by manufacturers independently and are not included in a unified standard. Their meanings vary.
For example, purple interfaces are commonly seen in high-speed charging scenarios with a power of 40 watts or more.
