Assuming you could do this, and still 'see' it, and there was enough 
reflected light off it to be seen, and etc..., it would still appear red. 
The wavelength of light has no effect on the distance it has to travel. 
Besides, colour, as Edwind Land proved, is a rather subjective property 
with us mere humans....

Cheers,
