That's just a warning. White would be more dangerous.

Yes your nut looks perfectly safe. No need to worry about it becoming molten until at least light yellow. :lol:
I wonder how much amperage that is?
I'm mildly impressed at the insulation tape for not having melted off already.

I believe it's simply a thermal indicator light, and simply means 'Hot, do not touch'.
If only soldering irons had such indicators...
