Correct, PCI slots are usually white and the components mounted on the PCI
board face away from the CPU. ISA slots are usually black and the
components on the ISA PCB board are mounted facing the direction of the CPU.
AGP is brown and usually closest to the CPU (not to be confused with the
brown CNR and AMR slots which are smaller than the PCI slots).

PCI slots are the small card slots in your pc, as opposed to the older,
bigger ISA slots.
