Default What color should my engine coolant be?

I have an 03 350z Touring Trim. What color should the coolant be?

Currently the coolant color is green, however my radiator cap have an orange sticker on it. For some reason I thought the the coolant color should match up with the color on the radiator cap.

Thank in advance.

90 percent of coolant is approved for aluminium block. If the coolant contains “organic acids” it will be red or orange.

It mosy likely will be green, but Texcao antifreeze is reddish orange color. Guess it depends on what the last person put in, & the colored dot and nothing to do with the color of the antifreeze. It is kiinda like the small blue dot on the stock wheels from the factory.
