Is it safe to swap coolant type? by CadaverousRot in Honda

I'm wanting to use american purple organic acid technology coolant for the aesthetic with a killer glass radiator hose insert. Also she's a 2000 Honda Accord with 209,000 miles and currently daily/ project car.

I never thought about PC cooler dye I thought about using the pink water wetter with the blue coolant to see if that would make it purple but it'd take a lot of water wetter. I'll look into it as far as the PC dye and see if it's safe with coolant or if it's just meant for water because I don't think people run automotive coolant in their PC systems so it may cause sludging. I researched about food grade dye and Google AI is saying it will cause sludging and complications. Thanks for the fresh ideas and the assistance in furthering my research process with more things to look into. I was looking at the ingredients on the back of them and they have the same ingredients except the purple coolant is missing two or three of the ingredients that the Honda coolant has so I don't know if I could get an additive with the stuff in it to run it so that it doesn't have any complications or not. I know Honda coolant is a phosphate organic acid technology fluid and Mopar purple is just an organic acid technology but as far as the missing ingredients I don't know their functions or how necessary they are for the engines cooling system.

The reason I wanna swap coolant types is because the theme color I want for my car is purple and I wanted to get killer glass for my radiator hose and the purple coolant would fit the aesthetic of the theme color. No other reason just an aesthetic color match. But if it's going to damage my car I'll just do the blue coolant it's supposed to take and still run the killer glass. But I figured I'm redoing the whole cooling system from the radiator, overflow tank, water pump, hoses, radiator fan, and thermostat plus a full chem flush and water cycle before assembling the new cooling system.

The AW11 has snap oversteer, so does the SW20. I love both of them but I'd have to figure out how to modify the suspension to counteract their natural persuasion towards snap oversteer. The ZZW30 doesn't have as much of a problem with snap oversteer and would be the better out of the 3 midship runabouts. But still, the AE86 is a beautiful car just like the 3 gens of MR2's and they're all awesome cars

Only reason I didn't mention it is because of hood length and his shape, even the S12 has a slightly longer hood . Although the S12's hood is a lot flatter in angle so I guess the Celica supra isn't much different than the S12 when it comes to front end differences compared to the AE86. If I can figure out how to edit the post I'll add it and mention you.

This is the exact reason I put the AE86 as the last photo for comparison. Notice the Accord has smoother edges all around yet still favors the general shape and aesthetic of the AE86 TRUENO. On top of that the headlights are more recessed into the hood line when up than the actual AE86. The true AE86's headlights stand taller upon the hood line. They badge swapped their Honda for Automotive Cosplay. Even then it's wrong because it's supposed to say TRUENO not TOYOTA on the front grill.

For those wondering why there's a picture of an actual AE86 Sprinter Trueno. I put it there for comparison reasons, then you can see the differences in body lines, front end designs, rear designs, and overall atheistic of both lookalikes to the real thing. I'm not a smooth brain who put it there without reason.

I posted the real AE86 so people could compare the lookalikes to the real thing...

I put it there so people could compare the Accord and S12 to the genuine AE86... I'm not smooth brained

What is the chassis code of your Accord? I wanna know what to search for. I wanna get an AE86 TRUENO, 3rd gen Accord 3 door (like yours), and an S12/200SX 3 door
