Default Orange power steering?

Since I have been having issues with my car making noise I checked the power steering fluid. It said add so I did but before I did I looked at the color and it was orange. The fluid out of the bottle was a pale yellow. Is this a problem?

Some guys like to use automatic trans fluid. Red + Yellow =?

A little bit of red can go a long way. Unless it's rust and crud you're seeing. Or is it still translucent?

It's translucent just with a noticeable orange tint

I haven't used every brand of p.s. fluid, so there could be an orange flavored one out there.
