It is shared between several friends, so the fluid gets used up quickly and doesn't sit around for long periods of time.

The two different colors is precisely the reason I went with ATE for the brakes. I'm less concerned about that for the clutch though because there's only a single line to bleed. I'd be happy to go with Motul instead of ATE, but I assume the Motul shouldn't sit open on the shelf for very long either. If that's the case, I'll just stick with the ATE that I already have rather than buying a bottle of Motul, using less than half, and then having to dispose of it before I have a need to use the rest of the bottle.
Ok, you should be fine. I'd still go with the Motul for the clutch. Even if you toss the rest of the bottle it's less than $20 and the boiling point is higher than the ATE if I remember correctly.
