So a little like Hawaiian volcanic red dirt soils. At least one of the moon landing sites would have been in the red dirt. Would be interesting if the moon landing footage from there also matches up with a color grade of a redish tone. All the photos I've seen the ground is supper grey.

Anywhere on the near side would be exposed to the Earth's extended atmosphere, so this oxidation would be everywhere. Out of all the Apollo landing sites, ironically Apollo 11 would be the only one in an area not heavily reddish in this photo. So, no, this coloration would not be perceptible to the human eye.
