By most mammals it's red. The blue color of the veins can be explained by the fact that you see your veins through your skin, your skin works like a sort of color filter, but the blood is always red

Blood is red. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Plasma, by it self is yellowish in color. It makes up 50-60% of our blood. White blood cells and platelets have no color but appear white when they are grouped together, as when blood is separated in a centrifuge. Red blood cells are red, always. Red blood cells make up at least 40% of our blood.

Blood ALWAYS has oxygen in it. That is why it is circulated throughout the body, to carry oxygen to all of our organs and extremities.

No, the red blood cells in the blood cause the red colour of blood. The plasma is actually a faint yellow colour.

What do the blue blood represents?

When they put diagrams of blood circulation in books and illustrations they often make the color of blood either blue or red. Though blood, in real life, is either dark red or bright red, it is easier to tell them apart by making the blood that is carrying a full load of oxygen as red, for the bright red blood that is oxygen-rich and they make the oxygen-poor blood a bluish color, when instead it is really just dark red.
