If a light source is approaching you at a speed very close to the speed of light it will appear to be what color?

That all depends what color it was when it left the source. Whatever wavelength it had at the source, if it's approaching you, you'll measure a shorter wavelength (higher frequency) as it passes you. But don't forget that regardless of the speed or direction of the source, you'll measure the light passing you at the 'speed of light' ... no more or less.
