Why some USB ports are yellow (and less common than others)
Yellow USB-A ports usually mean Always On charging, but the particulars are up to the manufacturer. A yellow USB port usually marks an "Always On" port, meaning it will continue to charge your device once you turn the computer off.
AI Summary
Yellow USB‑A ports typically indicate an “Always On” charging function, meaning they keep powering a connected device even after the computer is shut down. The exact behavior varies by manufacturer, as the color coding for USB‑A ports is not standardized across the industry. Consequently, while yellow is one of several possible colors, it does not guarantee a uniform feature set.
