Why is my rearview mirror blue?

While I was driving the other day, I noticed my rearview mirror turned blue for a while, but then later, it went away. A week or two later, I noticed it happened again. Why is my rearview mirror blue?

Depending on what kind of car you drive and the components of your rearview mirror, it sounds like your rearview mirror is blue because it has a night mode with a sensor that reacts to light.
In response to headlights or even bright sunlight shining into your vehicle, rearview mirrors with this feature will dim themselves and take on a blue tint, which reduces the amount of light reflected at you.
While you’re inspecting your mirrors, it might also be worth looking at your
