What ever, I don't like Biology or whatever so you probably are correct.

OXYGENATED!!!!!
as in AFTER it's been exposed to oxygen. when it is inside you its blue.
My dad is a doctor. I should know.
Right, tell your Dad to get a needle and a syringe, and extract some of your blood, then tell me what colour it is. Note, it won't have been exposed to oxygen inside the syringe.
hi there
Look at the war I started.... :D

Deoxygenated blood has a violet tint to it. Oxygenated blood is a brighter red. Besides, why do they call red blood cells red blood cells?! There's no blue in the body at all. There's white cells and red cells. Tell me, how could blood be blue?

And another thing, DOES ANYONE BELIEVE YOUR BRAIN IS ONLY THE SIZE OF YOU TWO FISTS PUT LOOSELY TOGETHER?! YOU BETTER NOT!!!!

Still wrong. Blood is light red. Deoxygenated (Vein) Blood is darker. Also blood out of the body will also darken.

i had a blood test today. and can safely say it was dark red. I was talking to the other nurse then looked back in time to see the one who was taking my blood pull the needle out too fast and spray it all over my arm and her desk, and the needle, and the last tube.

This may seem sadistic, but I laugh when I get blood drawn.

Blood disgusts me in real life, but it's ok in movies. I would totally fail as a vampire
My life goal is to rip people apart and mess with their insides.

The gross insight of a master surgeon.

:D

lol
to everyone who's dissing my dad... I never actually asked him...

BUT I HAVE THE REAL ANSWER!!!
blood is red when it is outside of you (it's in contact with oxygen)
When it is inside of you it is colourless, as there is no light inside of your blood vessels and arteries.

problem solved.

Doesn't that mean you just can't see the color? If you take it out, without exposing it to oxygen, you'd be able to see the colour
that would be pretty tough.
Oh well. since im planning to go on to med school, I'lll prolly only see it when its red.

Well don't claim you know because of your dad then...

Blood is bright red when oxygenated, ie exposed to air or in your arteries.
It is darker red when deoxygenated, ie when in your veins.
Absence of light doesn't make something colourless. It's bright red inside your arteries because it's oxygenated, and dark red inside your veins (which incidentally, light does reach... why do you think you can see your veins?)

Problem actually solved. Again.

Um, Your Dad is one Doctor I never want to meet.

Blood is... colorless?
Shame of the Super Son
If blood is colorless/blue, why do your cheeks turn red when the blood rushed to your face?

I love this.

Ooh, yeah, really difficult. I mean, have you seen all that complicated equipment they use every time they take a blood sample or a blood donation? Like, a syringe?
