I think the "colors changing" is a scientific reference to the fact that colors exist as different frequencies. As you increase the frequency (or speed it up) the colors shift from red to violet and beyond. So as you speed up, you "see the colors changing." And I think, too, that it is an allegory; that the speed at which things are changing in this relationship is extremely fast, fast enough to see the colors changing.
Then she's "smacked upside of the head with the harsh of daylight." She doesn't love this man anymore - at least not the way she used to. Things were so simple before she started seeing the world in color. Seeing that there is more than just black and white.
There's also the idea that while she was in this relationship with this obviously bi-polar individual (fluctuating temperature) her world was black and white. Not moving. Static. Suddenly things have changed and she is moving again. Her life has picked up speed. So she's coming back for more out of a black and white world. She's moving so quickly now that she can outpace a shooting star and she sees the colors changing from red to violet. Hot to cool.
