The reddening can be observed only during total eclipses, as far as I know. During the partial phases, the contrast between lit and eclipsed parts of the Moon is too strong to make reddening appreciable.
I enjoyed the eclipse, but I was clouded and rained out pretty soon. I posted some
photographic coverage over in the astrophotography section.
