The Eye: what was it? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Interesting.

I'd always thought of it as just a manifestation of an innate remote-viewing ability possessed by Sauron; something along the lines of Morgoth's (with my eyes you shall see', as Morgoth said to Húrin).

Maybe the Eye had a red hue because Sauron's eyes in his Third Age 'terrible' shape were red, and Frodo and Sam could see it more clearly because of their close proximity to Barad-dûr.
