Well, the high concentration of hemoglobin is what gives our blood its red color. More specifically, the porphyrin functional group in the hemoglobin structure is what gives hemoglobin (and oxy-hemoglobin) its red hue.
DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT HEMOGLOBIN IS RED BECAUSE OF THE IRON IN THE CENTER OF ITS STRUCTURE. THEY WOULD BE LYING TO YOU.
