No, it is a standard term for professional workers and non professional workers.

There are no other colours used in that term.

It is an American term, as one may well gather.

Isn't there a different "level" or education. I mean both need extra training and job specific education. Trade school vs. college sort of thing. So maybe nursing would be more White collar, because there is some college in there as well as specific training.

Maybe . . .confused
