However in physics, if there was a giant mirror you were traveling towards, your image would be blue shifted and if you were traveling away from it it would be red shifted (as it pertains to your question about colors, so yeah, you could see colors.) That has to do with the way we perceive the light's frequency/wave length with our eyes.


This would obviously only happen if the mirror isn't moving with you, and probably wouldn't be noticeable anyway for the same reason it doesn't occur when you are running toward a mirror at home. Unless the mirror is billions of miles away and there is sufficient space for it to be noticed. In which case you probably couldn't see the mirror anyway.
