The Two Towers if I remember correctly He was talking about the sun. "The red sun rises. Blood has been spilled on this night."- close enough to the quote of Legolas.

However, the red sun thing happens, as well. It usually means bad weather is coming. For instance, the old sailor's phrase (and I don't mean excessive swearing)

"Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning."

I seem to remember that as 'shepherds' and I thought it meant when the clouds were turned red by the setting/rising of the sun
