For future braking flushes, it's not a problem using Blue when you have 'old Blue' in the system -- just be sure to flush a bit out through each caliper. I draw down the reservoir using a turkey baster, then flush about 1/3 of a can through the caliper that's furthest from the reservoir. Then I'll run about 1/4 a can through the next one, and split the remaining amount through the two closest calipers.
