Oxygenated blood is blood in which oxygen is attached to the haemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells. It is bright red because the attached oxygen makes the normally blue haemoglobin molecules turn red.

When blood has delivered oxygen to the cells, it is described as deoxygenated. It now looks a very dark red because so many of the haemoglobin molecules have turned blue again. The mixture of blue and red molecules looks dark red to our eyes.

Deoxyhemoglobin (deoxygenated hemoglobin) is dark red; it is a common misconception that blood (at least that without hemocyanin) is blue!

Oxygenated blood is usually a bright, vibrant red color. It takes oxygen to the body, and travels through the arteries. When nicked, it usually spurts out, in sync with the beats of your heart.

Deoxygenated blood is typically a darker crimson. Its bringing the blood back to the heart through the veins. It moves slower, as it has to travel back up to the heart.
