Sputum that is red may indicate the presence of blood, which is not typically associated with pneumonia. This may be a sign of a more serious respiratory condition such as lung cancer or tuberculosis. Green, yellowish, and rust-colored sputum are all common colors associated with pneumonia due to the presence of bacteria or other pathogens in the lungs.
