Does the moon appear red during an lunar eclipse when viewed from space?

I’ve read that a lunar eclipse is what makes the moon appear red in the sky, because only light of certain wave lengths passing through our atmosphere. Would it also be red when viewed not from earth? It would still be the same light reaching it but bouncing back to our eyes not through the atmosphere. I’m not sure I’ve fully understood, I’d very much appreciate a science lesson. Thanks
