The coolant does get darker when it has been in the car -- I just added some to mine today ... the new is bright .. almost iridescent.

Is that the Jaguar coolant at 100% -- mine is a bit more pink/ orange at 50%.

Mine is in the white Jaguar Jug so not as easy to tell ... and I did not spend much time looking at it ... it is an odd color. Not the red and pink of the Japanese coolants
