Default What should the color of my power steering fluid be?

I have repaired a damaged 2010 F-150 and I have no owners manual. My power steering fluid is a red color just like the old systems used to be. [looks like automatic trans fluid]My mechanic says most new PS systems have a clear fluid. We are wondering if someone put the wrong fluid in this truck. Anybody know the color or what it takes for fluid.
