A question about comets

From what I understand
stars that are blue-shifted on the spectrum,
are moving towards us, and red-shifted ones are moving away.


This comes from the Doppler Effect
en.wikipedia.org...
and the terrestrial example is that of a moving train.
The sound of an approaching train is a higher pitch because
the waves are being compressed. There is a noticable drop in pitch
when it passes the observer and is moving away from them. Expanding the waves.


So the question is,
why don't we see a change in the color of comets when they pass.

Is it...
    A) too small to notice
    B) not moving fast enough
    C) no one has looked for it before
    D) or A and B above

I thought in order for ATS to gain the $ from all of the hits you will garner you are suppose to first embed it here and then share with Youtube not the other way around?

Anyway sounds good, keep on keeping on!
