A lot of it depends on the plastic used in the coolant tank. Dexcool looks orange in the blue jug, but I swear it looks red when poured into the plastic tank. Also, it looks bronze when in my plastic coolant tester. It's all the same stuff. I'll try dig up some photos. I'm talking about GM and Prestone Dexcool. If Ford used a stronger dye, that may cause a difference and I'll punt on that.
