De-oxygenated human blood is NOT blue. Blood in veins is NOT blue. Human blood is ALWAYS red regardless of whether it is venous or arterial blood, regardless of whether it is oxygenated or deoxygenated, regardless of whether it is inside the body or outside the body. Human blood is red. Period. Veins appear blue from outside the skin because of the way light interacts with skin and blood - NOT because blood is blue in color.
