Which DOT is which?
Drawing a mental blank.
DOT 3 brake fluid is colorless?
DOT 4 is ? Purple?
DOT 5 (Synthetic) is ?
Brakes are kind of spongey and I want to bleed them but want to make sure I don't mix
While I'm at it, here is one of the more interesting and comprehensive write ups on brake fluids that I've found in a while:

I think one company makes DOT 3 or 4 in two different colors, so you can tell when you've fully flushed the system. Something I read about a long time ago, but I haven't heard anything about it for quite a while.
