    To the Brits, denatured alcohol is known as Methylated Spirits and
    is a pleasing purple colour (part of the 'Do Not Drink' thing).
    Amongst other things, we use it for removing oil-based stains, and it
    is particularly useful for cleaning off the film of rubber particles
    on car windscreens that is deposited over time from wiper blades. 

    In a similar vein, diesel fuel used for agricultural machinery is
    coloured red to differentiate it from normal diesel used for cars -
    this is because agricultural diesel is subject to a lower rate of
    taxation.
