Observing Redshift


I was wondering about a possible concrete example of a redshift. I know it deals with objects moving away.

If I had a 532nm green laser, let's say bright enough to see the dot clearly (5mW or so).

If that green then incurred a redshift of 1, would the green appear a different color?

Can our eyes perceive certain values of redshift or blueshift?
