Power steering fluid

[TIPEX9]

Hi guys, on top of my tyres rubbing after being lowered i found a small power steering fluid leak which i have sorted but now i need to top up my fluid and cant tell if its red or green and my local motor factors for some reason couldnt tell me which colour i need which is a bit ***** on their behalf to be honest.

my 1,8 vtec s is a 51 plate, any ideas of the colour folks?

I guess it's better to stick to Honda.
I bought recently 1 liter from Honda, and the colour it's quite transparent and light yellow, almost like engine oil.

Be aware that most cars use ATF in the power steering, but not Honda. Honda use a special oil, and you have to buy an oil compatible with Honda. If not sure, don't use it.
