I was a bit lost in the wording but I think I understand now...
When the lunar eclipse is in action, the earth's umbra thing will start covering the moon, making it possible to see it. When the earth's umbra completely covers the moon it will either have a red, brown or even sometimes a yellow look to it.
I think this was correct but I'm not sure about that. If this was wrong I'm really sorry and hope someone can give you the right answer for this.
