Contrary to popular belief, a coolant's colour isn't decorative: it corresponds to a formulation family (anti-corrosion additives) that must be compatible with your vehicle's cooling circuit.
Manufacturers use dyes to distinguish antifreeze technology families (IAT, OAT, HOAT), each using different anti-corrosion additives suited to specific cooling-circuit materials (aluminium, mixed alloys).
The colour suited to your vehicle is listed in the owner's manual. If in doubt, never mix two different colours when topping up: fully flush and replace the circuit with the appropriate reference to avoid any chemical reaction between incompatible additives.
No, this can degrade the anti-corrosion properties of both products and damage the cooling circuit over time.
Generally every 2 to 5 years depending on the formulation and manufacturer guidance — check your vehicle's service book.
