Question pink or green antifreeze?

I have just noticed that after having my 2.7 engine changed, the shop has put in the green antifreeze instead of the pink antifreeze that was in there before the engine change, is that ok or will this cause any problems?
Thanks in advance.

Well I did some checking around and asked a few different mechanics and they said that a lot of people are switching to the green antifreeze because the pink antifreeze gets acidic after about a year and begins to corrode and eat the gaskets and o-rings causing failure, maybe thats why my water pump leaked into my engine oil and caused my my engine to destroy itself.
