No. Blood Oranges taste like Oranges, but have red pulp and juice. Grapefruit can have pale, pink, or red pulp, but are generally less sweet and more bitter than oranges are.
It's a little complicated because citrus fruit in general are almost all hybrids. There are usually considered to be about four ur-citrus species, all of which can hybridize with the others (and then the hybrids can hybridize with the original species or with other hybrids ... it's messy).
Grapefruits are a hybrid between Citrus maxima (pomelo) and Citrus x sinensis (sweet orange). Sweet oranges themselves are probably a hybrid of Citrus maxima and Citrus reticulata (mandarin oranges). The blood orange is a particular cultivar of the sweet orange.
