Spanish term
arrebol
El niño de nueve años que era entonces observó como un haz de luz entraba por una ventana y, atravesando una hilera de botellas de rojas, llegó hasta su camisa blanca coloreándola de un rojo arrebolado. Esta imagen quedó por siempre en su memoria.

It seems to have to do with the red of low cloud at sunset...Orange-red?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Arrebolado would rather be a reddish glow than a sunset red... Not such an easy one, really. And I would use "reddish glow" rather than "red glow" to refer to (rojo) arrebolado.

thanks, many sunsets that I have seen could easily be described as having a "reddish glow"

Diría que ahí al original o le falta una palabra tras el segundo "de" o le sobra el "de" antes de "rojas"...
Por cierto, no se trata de luz del ocaso o crepuscular, al menos en la frase citada sólo se habla de un haz luz atravesando unas botellas rojas. El resultado puede ser similar pero no parece tratarse de "sunset" aunque quien pregunta haya mencionado después que puede tener relación.
y no son tanto los rayos del sol (ni su ocaso) que entran por la ventana sino los reflejos en la prenda después de atravesar las botellas rojas
