Phosphate free coolants come in many colors.

DexCool is orange, Texaco Havoline Coolant is Green, The coolant you get
from VW is, as I recall, blue in color. All of these are free of phospates.

You can't rely on the color to know if its phospate free or not. Read the
literature or the labeling on the container it comes in.

Do your own research. DO NOT rely on someone elses opinion about whether
it's phosphate free or not. If you have read it for yourself, then you know
as good as it can be known.
