I seem to remember reading about a huge volcano (at Krakatoa, maybe?) that erupted a few hundred years ago that spewed lots of particles into the sky worldwide and changed the color of the sky and even affected the climate. That may be what you are thinking of.

Could be I suppose if there are large forest fires, a volcano or some other natural disaster that is spewing stuff into the atmosphere.
The sun has a certain color that it emits if looked at from space. It is mostly a WHITE color. The sky will look different colors depending on what color frequencies are filtered out or reflected as the light passes through the atmosphere. Due to the stuff that makes up Earth's atmosphere, it appears BLUE on a clear day and GRAY on a cloudy day. However, on mars it appears RED. .....

Colour is based on what is in the atmosphere. The sky is blue due to the nitrogen in our atmosphere. Think of the air as a prism that only certain light wavelengths get through. Dust has a tendency to reflect more of the redish tones in the atmosphere. Look at the sun when there is dense smoke in the air. It appears red. Different components in the atmosphere will reflect different wavelengths of light giving the sky different colours.

Yes it has happened many times throughout history. Mostly due to atmospheric conditions caused by natural disasters, weather conditions and the like.

Historically, it has happened after for a few days to a few years after large volcanic eruptions.
