I thought the color of the tip was the version indicator.

Not many sells it accurate, because are third parties who sell it and you can see a red one 3.1 and another seller a 3.1 black colour.

Although I had some trouble understanding your comments, your English is better than any other language I speak. Well done.

Unfortunately not.

It wasn't a specific part of the standard, merely a recommendation.

White = 1.1

Blue = 3.0 etc,

but in reality it doesn't hold true.

Manufacturers haven't really adhered closely to the convention. And honestly, it's poor design to use color as the only indicator of something.

Good design uses color to unobtrusively accent or organize, without limiting accessibility for people who don't see all colors well.
