Yes
I'm in the middle of processing some film I've just souped some Fomapan and some PanF and it's turned the rodinal green, can I still use it to process some HP5?
 
No, developer is 1 shot unless you use big tanks and bulk processing, that's quite apart from it turning green..:)
 
Yes you can, extend your dev time by 10%, and you will be fine, the green colour is dye from the anti-halation layer of the film.
 
As Jox says, Rodinal is a one shot developer, so best to throw it out after one use otherwise you're looking at throwing dice with results.

I would not reuse my self, Dilute developers are best thrown away.

however The colour is the antihalation dye which is harmless.
 
Mine goes luminous green when developing fomapan, I tend to only use it once especially when I am only using 8ml each time!
 
:bang:
