Just like when you see the old fluid pumping out when flushing with new fluid....If you need colored fluid for that......

Ate Super blue is just a middle of the pack fluid...there are a bunch of better brake fluids available.... And even equivalents available at your FLAPs

I never bought into the "blue fluid" mantra... and still don't.... You can better serve the brake system on your car with another fluid and a little common sense...
I change out the brake fluid on my car each and every spring and have for 30 years. With 12 month old fluid it does not change color much if any at all. It is a challenge to know for sure when new fluid is flowing if it is the very same same color.

I stocked up on some ATE blue when it was still available. With alternating between blow and gold I am good to go until 2020 with my annual brake fluid changes.
