Default color of ethernet ports?

I have seen pictures of some high-end mainboards, which have a red ethernet
port and a black port. The red being a 2.5GBASE-T port. Sombody told me that
10 Gbps ports are blue, but I doubt that. Last place I worked at had a
cluster with 10GBASE-T and I am sure it was all Henry Ford black.
USB has white/black/blue ports. Is there any color convention for ethernet?

I guess so. I just remembered Netgear have a router with different speed ports
(10,5,2.5,1) and they are all black.

My Asus RT-N10P router has 4 yellow ports (10/100BaseT) for LAN connections
and 1 blue port for WAN.
An older router I had (NetGear, IIRC) had 4 black ports for LAN and 1 yellow
for WAN, also 10/100BaseT.

The Asus has wireless also, but the NetGear didn't, although I doubt that
that had anything to do with the port colors :-)
