If the space shuttle is exiting the atmosphere, that means you are going into space then no the Windows will not turn red. However if you are entering the atmosphere the friction caused by air molecules hitting the orbiter will create plasma around the shuttle. You will see a reddish orange glow out the Windows but the Windows themselves will not turn red.
