Default '03 Coolant -- factory is blue or green?

My '03 2.4L has 108K. Ordered type 2 coolant last night for a change. Opened cap today and fluid is green. Did Honda start putting the blue stuff in at later years, or was this changed already?

I'm not sure if the Honda Type II coolant was always blue, or it may have started out green.

For your car, I would just assume it was changed and the previous owner used the regular green coolant. I'd drain it all out and get the Type II in there.

Default Blue that much better?

The blue is pricey, but I got a gallon on eBay for 18 shipped. It's nearly impossible to get all the green out. Is the blue really that much better than conventional green?
