The blue just aren’t moving away as fast but all are moving away.

Is Andromeda red or blue shifted?

“The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at about 100 to 140 kilometres per second (62 to 87 mi/s) (400 lightyears every million years),[61] so it is one of the few blue-shifted galaxies” (wikipedia)

Blue. I was wrong in my former statement. Mea culpa!
