Why is SRAM Maxima mineral oil green in colour?

Why is SRAM Maxima mineral oil green in colour?

SRAM Maxima mineral oil is coloured green as a means of identifying it as the correct oil to use with SRAM's mineral oil brake systems. It matches the green coloured o-ring seals on SRAM's own brake bleeding kits.

It also serves as a means by which to differentiate it from mineral oils supplied by other manufacturers such as Shimano (red) and Magura (blue).

We also offer a green mineral oil as a compatible alternative to SRAM Maxima mineral oil.
