Green is correct. Your VW uses a different coolant, thats all.

Just a different chemical make up, but cools just the same.

Traditionally antifreeze was always green, but now with different makes of engines, there is yellow also.
So I guess if you mixed the two, Green and Yellow, you would get blue.
Then there is RV antifreeze that is pink, that is used in toilets and water lines and such for winterizing motorhomes and campers.
