Default To Change or Not to Change (ATF): What's your experience?

So, I have some imperfect behavio(u)r on my 150k-mile A8L. Sort of flares/slips a tiny bit, mainly when cold. I do have some codes, below, (brake light switch; and ABS, which I think is related to the BLS) which I will clear to see if they recur, and replace the BLS, but what is everyones' experience with changing the ATF? Is there a way to determine the current SW version in the trans, short of the $tealer $ervice dep't? Can I tell which (blue or yellow) fluid is in there or could it be brown enough to obscure its original colo(u)r? TIA for any empirical evidence!
