Default Rear coil spring color dots

Hi, I have a 2001 B5 2.8 Quattro with standard suspension(1BA). I need to replace the rear coil springs as one of them is broken. The current spring has 2 white and 2 pink dots. I've searched all over and have not been able to find that exact combination. My questions is if I'm replacing both sides, how close do I have to be to the original ones?

Anybody know of any secret decoder ring for these color markings on the springs?

Thanks!

Default Will these work?

I found these. I was wondering if anybody here has used something similar.

They are 1 green and 2 yellow dots.

These are third party.

Does anybody have opinions? How does the 1 green and 2 yellow dot springs compare to 2 white and 2 pink dots?

thanks.
