Colorants are used in antifreeze fluids helps differentiate the
chemistry in them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze_(coolant)
Yes, you can go by color.

The Subaru owners manual indicates the use of Glycol based antifreeze,
50/50 with soft water. There are no other indications in the engine
compartment.

All 3 types of antifreeze fluids, produced by Valvoline under the Zerex
brand, with or without silicates and phosphates are glycol based. One
is green, a second one is orange (OAT technology) and the other one is
clear (HOAT technology).

Since my car came with the green antifreeze from the factory, I will
continue to use the Zerex I mentioned in my initial post, the same used
by Nissan.

The ones in my '71 Jag were flushed once in '86. So far, so good.
