I purchased a power steering fluid that is compatible with my vehicle, but when I went to add it to the reservoir, I noticed the fluid in the reservoir is red and the fluid I purchased is an amber color. Is it acceptable to mix these, or will I need to find a red fluid to add?

Yep, you should be okay, it is normal for different manufactures to have different color fluids but so the same job.
