That cite doesn’t prove what color Coke would be without added color. It just says that Coke wasn’t *originally *green. It could be interpreted as saying, “Coca-cola has always been made with caramel coloring.”
Other sources seem to have a consensus (no cite because I could not find one sufficiently authoritative) that the only ingredients that could give Coke a color are the caramel coloring and “natural flavorings” and Coke isn’t going to tell us what the natural flavorings are.
The “standard” def. is a young* cow who hasn’t yet calved. But some people use it to mean a youngish cow regardless of calving (rare) or a cow of any age who hasn’t calved (regional). You might even find a difference in use between beef and dairy cows (where calving is an important milestone for milking).
In any case, there is no simple way to eyeball a cow and tell whether she’s a heifer or not. But to tell that she’s a she …

a heifer is a heifer is a heifer…
Clarification achieved
A heifer is heifer until she has a calf
Then she is considered a cow
Beef or dairy.
Beef are still heifers because they still have calfs
