Amusingly, Modern Ford coolant is clear colourless. It used to be orange.
Problem is, all car makers specify "Use My Proprietary Coolant or your Engine will Die!" hence the profusion of colours.
VW stuff is pink FFS! :biker
As far as I can tell, Green or Blue is Glycol (the original "antifreeze") and anything else is OAT coolant.
You can mix them (according to Mr Ford) but you should then treat the mixture as Glycol.
