I would not count on the color of the PCB and always verify it myself. In SPI,
the CS pin is usually active low and can easily be measured with a DMM while
idle: it should give 3.3 V.

Note that measuring Vcc is not enough, because those faulty CH341As often have
Vcc = 3.3 V and are marketed as 3.3V, but still use 5 V for the logic signals.
