bro, you are by far the funniest thing I've ever encountered in the past month. thanks for making my day. :)

Well, according to the video, the mirror itself is partially green. Although, it reminds me a lot of the English language. Basically a rip-off of everything else lol ! But that would be interesting, since the green is only visible through a mirror tunnel, what color would it be if nothing was reflecting off of it. You could try to take a mirror into outer space where no light can reach it. But then, it wouldn't have a color, would it? Sorry, my mind just broke. REBOOT...
