Blood entering the heart from Superior vena cava and Inferior vena cava is "dirty". Bloold going through Pulmonary artery is 'dirty" and is "cleaned" (oxygenated) in the lungs. Blood entering the heart via pulmonary vein and leaving via aorta is clean.

Veins are darker than arteries because they have thin walls, and the darker blood shows through them more easily.
