Two stroke oil colour

[AHPP]

I need to get some more two stroke oil. I currently use one of the Stihl green ones, Super or Ultra. As silly as it may sound, I’d like two stroke to be red. It’s how I was brought up. It’s easier to see. Or I’d like it to at least not be green so it’s different to MotoMix (green). Purple might do. 
 

Must meet or exceed Stihl’s specification. Will read the manuals to see what they call for (JASO FD etc - can’t remember what any of it means). 
 

Did find some dye for helicopter fuel but it was £3.50 for 30 ml. 
 

Any ideas? 
 

Yes, Stubby. We know you use Redline.

You can still buy Stihl HP, most dealers however only stock Green as it was the exact same price.

I like Castrol Power1, it is Jaso FD and red.

Think Oregon oil is red. I wouldn't go back to Stihl red, personally.

I agree with Alex that red is best for checking there is oil there but I gather the Stihl red is not good enough for modern saws, I currently have Stihl HP super but will try the Oregon if it meets the same spec.

I don't trust Oregon anything really. It's a bit supermarket own-brand. I want solid name-brand. McKewans Champion, not Greene King IPA. Despite the fact it was kram recommending Castrol, that's more a name I'd trust. No offence, kram but you use more fake shit for everything else than I'm comfortable with.

Update to first post. I don't care if it seems silly. I'm getting older. My focus is being pulled in more directions. If red vs green saves killing a £1000 saw, it's not silly.

I've used Gator Oil for chain oil. They do a 2 stroke oil.

I have used similar before but ended up going back to Stihl Ultra out of a (false?) sense of security

Reckon that red Castrol that kram posted is the red Stihl or the green Stihl (dyed differently for the Stihl branding)? I share openspaceman's understanding that the red Stihl isn't as good as the green.
