KoolStop Salmon pads on ceramic rim

Hi there,

A few weeks ago I changed my pads on the rear from the stock Shimano pads to KoolStop salmon ones.
A bit later, I had a rim failure (completely unrelated to the pads, just to be clear).
I got a new one that has a ceramic braking track.
Is it ok to keep the salmon pads for this?
I know KoolStop is making the green pads specially for ceramic rims. Should I get those?

The cost would be minimal and there would be no waste since my front pads need change as well, so I could put the rear Salmon ones on front and the green ones on the rear.

But is it necessary? useful? how good are the green pads?
Are the salmon ones just fine but a bit too soft for ceramic which will cause a premature wear if I keep them?

Thanks!
