It is not colour.

I agree with Christopher.  I also use a slightly different method to
find pins on this PDIP package; using the pin diagram on the first
page of the datasheet, top right.  Sometimes I cut it out and
enlarge.  It has a border.

I work down the either side of the pin diagram looking for the letters
of the pin name.  I learn the meaning of the arrows between the pin
name and the package.  I learn the localisation of the pin names; how
RB is mostly top right, how RC is embedded inside RD, how OSC is
usually mid-chip.

I'm using document DS30292A though, and haven't checked if DS30292C
has the same diagram, but I expect it does.
