Default Long life coolant

I have a 2009 2.5L altima that had the "blue" long life coolant in it. I took the car to the dealership for my first oil change and they topped up the coolant with the "green" long life coolant. The blue coolant is good for 10yrs while the green is good for 5yrs. They weren't even aware of the blue coolant as they only had the green in stock. Does this mean that my blue coolant is now only good for 5yrs as it has been mixed with the green stuff? They later siphoned out the green from the reservoir tank, but I assume nevertheless that some of it must have mixed with the blue in the radiator. To think that I end up going to the dealer to avoid this type of screw up happening in the first place.
