Why blood red in colour?
The hemoglobin in the blood goes red when it absorbs oxygen. Blood is not always red, if it is lacking in oxygen, it is infact blue. If you look at the veins in your arm or hand, they do not have much blood and therefore will be blue. You will never see blue blood because if you cut yourself, the blood is exposed to the air, allowing it to be oxygenated and thus turning it red.

What turns blood red?
The protein hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, changes shape when it binds oxygen. When it changes shape, it absorbs different wavelengths of light, making it change color. When blood is exposed to air, much more of the hemoglobin absorbs oxygen than had in the vein the blood came from (in the veins, the hemoglobin has already given up most of its oxygen to the body). Therefore, the blood turns red.Source(s):http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/bi…
