Brake Fluid Question

I am in the process of redoing the hydraulic brake system on the antique in my fleet ('56 Imperial) and am deliberating between using DOT3 vs. DOT5 fluid. One consideration that I have is keeping all of my cars on the same fluid to make future maintenance easier and lessen the chance of mixing fluids. Hence my questions:
Can I run DOT5 in an '87 560SEL?
I know DOT5 is available in different colors to make system flushing easier; is DOT3 also available in different colors?

Thanks,
jlc
