Blood that is rich in oxygen is called saturated or oxygenated. Oxygen saturation is a measure of the amount of oxygen that is dissolved in blood. Please see the related link for details.
It is called oxygenated or arteriolar blood. Even in the pulmonary vein it is called arteriolar blood because it is oxygenated.

In the body, blood is either oxygen rich or oxygen poor. Oxygen rich means that the blood has recently been to the lungs and has gotten a fresh supply of oxygen to deliver to cells in throughout the body. Oxygen poor blood is blood that has already given most or all of its oxygen to cells, and must return to the lungs in order to get a fresh supply of oxygen and to eliminate the carbon dioxide that it's carrying.

Oxygenated blood is blood that has oxygen attached to the hemoglobin molecules within the red blood cells inside the lungs. It is bright red in colour, unlike the bluish colour of deoxygenated blood
