The colors do not mix ! so you will want to make sure you have every drop of green out of the system before you put orange in. It is almost like mixing complementary colors, It will make a gelled up dark grey. I went orange once, and now I am back to green. I would suggest just getting good, compatible long life fluid. It is to bad the Environmental friendly stuff is not on the market much anymore. What do we do with all this old fluid ? How do you flush a system without a bunch going into our water system.
