There's a rocket fuel that fit's that description, forget it's name though.

I keep thinking of a failed rocket launch in China that crashed into a village spraying red mist everywhere and the whole town had to be evacuated.

*It might not have been nearly as bad as I remember; it crashed in the outskirts of town and only released a little nitrogen tetroxide, as a snack.

Pretty sure its nitrogen tetroxide which is used with hydrazine as a hypergolic propellant in rockets that hate living things.
