The hemoglobin in the blood that is found inside red blood corpuscles transport the majority of oxygen in the body.
Hemoglobin is made up of four sub-units and these sub-units can attract and hold four molecules of oxygen.
then they are red if they are not carrying oxygen then they are a purple red.

The Red Blood Cell

Anemia does not directly cause the blood to become more viscous. However, in severe cases of anemia where there are significantly low levels of red blood cells, it can lead to increased blood viscosity due to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity. It is the body's compensatory mechanism to deliver enough oxygen to tissues.
Blood is an oxygen transport mechanism (among its other functions) and this is done by means of a chemical called hemoglobin, which, when it is carrying oxygen, has an intense red color.
Hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, carries oxygen in the blood. Oxygen binds to the iron within hemoglobin, forming oxyhemoglobin. This allows oxygen to be transported from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.

Red blood cells
Red blood cells, specifically the protein hemoglobin within red blood cells, is responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body.
then they are red if they are not carrying oxygen then they are a purple red.
Blood cells that are carrying oxygen will appear bright red, while blood cells that are not carrying oxygen will appear darker in color (usually dark red or purplish). This change in color is due to the presence or absence of oxygen-binding molecules like hemoglobin within the red blood cells.
