Hair dryer or very gingerly with a heat gun should soften the glue enough to peel them off, after there off use some white spirits or similar to remove the left over glue residue.

As for colour change, it depends how long they been on, how long the car has been exposed to sunlight and UV rays and of course the colour of the car as some colours fade faster and worse then others. so.. only you will know when you start taking them off. normally abit of t-cut, maguires or such like help to blend the colours if there not to badly faded.
