      For what it’s worth, the terminal screws on US outlets and replacement plugs usually actually are color coded. The screws for the hot (black) wire are gold or brass, and the screws for the neutral (white) wire have a silver finish. The ground screws are usually anodized green.

      You’ll actually find green colored ground screws in tons of devices, not just outlets and plugs.
