Well... sort of.
Antifreeze is not naturally colored; coloring agents are added to it. There's no law requiring that a particular type of antifreeze be a specific color, but in general, different colors are used for different types, and it is important to use the right type of antifreeze.
So, to sum up: the type of antifreeze matters, the color doesn't, but different colors usually mean different types.
Regular antifreeze such as, green, or red!
The Volkswagen equivalent antifreeze is the RED antifreeze known as Dexcool. Do not use the green or blue or any other type or you will be looking for trouble.

there's only two types, red or green.
Silicate (green) type antifreeze does not mix with red type antifreeze. Never mix them in a cooling system, the organic acids in orange types will cause precipitation of silicates in the green type and corrosion protection is greatly reduced. Always use what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
If it is in a Dodge truck, 2002 and prior is green. 2003 and later is red, 5 year, HOAT type.
1998 or later uses red, five year, hoat type. Classic 300's use green.
Make sure you use the red stuff as the green antifreeze tends to rot the oil cooler and causes other problems too. Do not mix them either.
