There are two well known types of "blood colors". The color of the blood is closely related to the oxygen molecules. O2 molecules can be bound in different ways: by the ferrous heme groups of the globins (e.g., myoglobin and hemoglobin); or by two Cu+ ions held in close proximity by six His side chains in hemocyanins. Fe2+ and Cu+ ions and ferrous heme groups free in solution do not bind reversibly; instead, they oxidized to the Fe3+ and Cu2+ forms. Under these circumstances, when Fe2+ is oxidized to Fe3+ acquires a red color, this is the reason why blood is red in upper organisms, those that have hemoglobin. On the other hand, when Cu+ oxidizes to Cu2+ turns to blueish color. In lower organisms (e.g., crustacea) the blood turns blueish when is exposed to oxygen. In resume, we have two blood colors, red and blueish, when it's oxidized.

What wavelength of visible light is least utilized by chlorophyll?
White absorbs the least light. The "pigment" that causes the color white does not absorb any other colors, so all the colors are reflected back to you as "everything", or white. Think of white light. There are many colors hidden in white light, and by the process of refraction, white light can be separated and a rainbow of colors revealed. Black, on the other hand, is a pigment that absorbs all colors of light. Since no color is present, what you see is essentially a reflection of "nothing".
