2013 LFX Coolant Color?

Just curious what the OEM coolant color was. I could've sworn when I checked it originally it was pink, now it is orange? I have never serviced the coolant myself, I wonder if the dealer has touched it (they shouldn't have)

Weird, when I checked the OEM part number it says orange. Wondering if I should change it then, although it's not giving me problems
