Green Brake Fluid

OK...I'm not crazy. I bought a 1976 Corvette and the brake fluid is green.
It is the color of antifreeze. I have looked around and find a fluid
called LHM that is green and is not compatible with DOT fluid. I bought
the car in a rural area and I don't think they would have had any exotic
brake fluid. Any ideas or suggestions? Is there a hydraulic fluid that
is bright green? I've emailed the guy I bought the car from but don't
know if I will hear back.

The link below, states the green color is hydraulic fluid and has some
information on it.

Jag and Rolls both use a mineral based brake fluid that is green, both
are made by Castrol
