Are opening and closing double quotes expected to be of different color in a bash script?

I've just noticed, after years using Vim, that the two double quote characters opening and closing a string in a bash script have different colors, which I can verify by simply writing var="var" in a shell script or opening up my ~/.bashrc.

This seems to be independent of the colorscheme, and I can also reproduce it without my .vimrc, by opening

vi -u NONE ~/.bashrc

and then entering in Vim the following

:syntax enable
:colo pablo

(Those two colors are really different with pablo: yellow the opening double quote, blue-ish the closing one.)

I think that the answer to my question should be in /usr/share/vim/vim82/syntax/sh.vim (which is sourced by the bash.vim in the same directory), but that file is a bit too complex for me to understand.
