safe to mix coolant of a different brand?

im not asking about this for my lt1, but for any car in general. i usually run green prestone in both of my vehicles but my truck is running low so i picked up a gallon of green zerex from NAPA since i got it a little cheaper. will it be ok to top off (any vehicle) with zerex as long as its the same color (green)?
