I dont think the colour means much but the rating and design mean everything, one of the best manufacturers is Crosby, some good info on their website.

We used these in the Army on the military ports.

Not that I can remember, some manufacturers paint the whole pin.

There is a difference.
A painted pin indicates that it is made to US specification RR-C-271D IV. Unpainted are manufactured to BS3032:1958
