Hi John.
The colour is not normally important. The only thing that matters is that you don't mix Methanol based coolant with Glycol based coolant. The bottle will always say Methanol on it if it contains it, the Glycol based stuff ( now the most commonly used) has all sorts of slightly different names like Ethylglycol and Ethylamine, it all does the same thing and can be mixed. A 33% mixture is about right for all year round protection from freezing and engine corrosion.
