Not as far as the industry is concerned. The color/quality of the reflective backing material never changes only the color of the material that it is applied to. Once the two are combined the industry only identifies the color of the mirror by the color of glass to which it was applied.

What mirrors are you talking about? A mirror simply produces non-diffuse reflection. There are plenty of others besides the Al/Silver backed one in your home. This includes those cool colored oakley sunglasses, polished gold, normal glass (a good mirror for some wavelength ranges), and a whole host of other configurations.
