Redshift coloring seems to use incorrect coordinates or velocities for its calculation. To observe:

Fly with some objects at above 0.95 c (or so)
accelerate off axis
Observe that the purple region appears not in the direction of acceleration

Since the reference frame moving at 0.95c should be as valid as one at rest, the simulation should show the same effect in each case, even though it has to use different numbers to do so.
