The two don't mix and react together in a bad way.

I know what he means, its nice to keep it the same colour.

Different makes are different colours, I know of, red, pink, orange and green. I have not seen blue. I did find some pink stuff once but have now given up and mixed it Mine is a yucky brown colour!!!

Its pot luck I'm afraid, buy some and check it...

Long life won't mix with standard, but vx put longlife in anyway I belive so you ccan mix it....

i'd just buy any good antifreeze and but flush the system through so there is no old stuff init! easy enough to do and shouldnt take no longer that 20 mins!

VX put longlife in from new. If you mix them they can crystalise and start to foam up I believe. Just use what's already in there.
