Both the Red and Blue shifts are qualities of the doppler effect. Using the example of a speed of light (SOL) traveler speeding along at 186,000 miles in one second, to or from Earth, the SOL traveler would be perceived by an individual on Earth as being in motion via a shift in light's radiated wavelength toward the blue of red spectrum respectively. Another way of thinking about this is that the wavelength of light, to or from Earth, would be compressed (blue shifted) or dilated (red shifted). Alternatively the SOL traveler should observe an individual on Earth as being at rest (blue or red shifted) relative to their own SOL motion to or from Earth.

What are two colors that share no common colors?
the primary colors: red and blue red and yellow yellow and blue
What evidence do we have to prove that galaxies rotate?
Doppler red shifts and blue shifts of light from the stars in the galaxies.
What will happen if the red and blue shifts of planets in the world disappeared?
First of all, we don't see blue shifts, just red shifts, meaning an expanding, not contracting universe. Second of all, these red shifts come from stars in the universe, not planets in the world. What would happen if the red shifts disappeared? Well, there'd be a whole bunch of excited scientists, that's for sure, because that would mean that the universe will have gotten as big as it's going to get and is now going to start collapsing back onto itself.
What does a blue shift of the light from a star indicate?
When light shifts toward the blue end of the spectrum, it is shifting in the direction of shorter wavelengths. This happens when a luminous object, such as a star, is moving toward you. This motion tends to compress the waves which it emits. Stars that are moving away from the observer will instead exhibit a red shift. The waves are stretching out, because of the motion. And because the universe is expanding, red shifts are by far the most common.

Does the colour of a galaxy reflect its distance away from the earth?
No, however, we can determine whether a galaxy is moving towards or away from us, by looking at the shift in its spectrographic analysis. There are "red shifts" and "blue shifts" in spectrographic results. "Blue shifts" indicate that a galaxy is moving towards us, because the wavelength of the light emitted by the galaxy is compressed, causing it to shift to the blue end of the colour spectrum. "Red shifts" indicate that a galaxy is moving away from us, because the wavelength of the light emitted by the galaxy is being stretched towards the red end of the colour spectrum.
