Default Which coolant?

For a MY99 UK Turbo. Will any do, or does it have to be specific?

Any good ethylene-glycol based brand should do, not to strong not too weak Halfords do a nice pink one

i thought it was blue coolant with corrosion inhibiting agents to be used as it prevents corrosion in cars with alloy crank cases as on the subaru engines not sure that the pink and yellow do the same.
