What would cause blood donation to appear pale instead of dark red Is pale blood more oxygenated?

Yes, but this would be seen in arteries and they do not take blood for donations from arteries.

The arteries in the image appear red. What are they carrying?
Oxygenated blood to the body
What type of blood does an artery carry?
oxygenated blood oxygenated blood oxygenated blood
In which animal have blue blood?
All mammals have bluish blood until it is oxygenated. That's one reason why veins appear blue.
Explain why in human beings oxygenated and deoygenated blood never mix.?
Saying that oxygenated anddeoxygenated blood never mix is a bit misleading. First lets start with the bodies pump, the heart. The heart is divided into four parts, the Left having two parts (L atria and L ventricle) and the Right having two parts (R atria and R ventricle). The Left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs first in the L atrium and then into the L ventricle. The L ventricle pumps the blood to the rest of your body through arteries. It is at the level of the capillaries, tiny blood vessels, that oxygenated blood donates it's oxygen to tissue, and hence becomes de-oxygenated. This again is a little misleading because it is not devoid of oxygen, it just has much less oxygen than before the donation. After the donation of oxygen at the capillary the blood is now on the venous side and returns the de-oxygenated blood to the heart. This oxygen poor blood arrives on the R side of the heart in the R atrium and then the R ventricle where it is pumped to the lungs to become oxygenated and then returned to the L atrium and the cycle continues. There are however, disorders of the heart, (ie PDA), that allow de-oxygenated and oxygenated blood to mix in the heart. This leads to poorly oxygenated blood being delivered to tissues.
What type of blood are the arteries responsible transporting?
Oxygenated blood is carried by all arteries but one which is the pulmonary artery
Where does blood becames oxygenated?
Blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs.
What is color of oxygenated blood?
oxygenated blood (arterial blood) is bright red.
What is the difference between the pulmanary vein and the pulmanary artery?
For the most part, arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry de-oxygenated blood. This is opposite in the pulmonary veins and arteries because they are going to and from the lungs to get oxygen.
What is the coloure of oxygenated blood?
Red. All blood is actually red it is just the darker redness combined with skin pigments that make veinous blood appear blue.
When blood reenters the heart is it deoxygenated or oxygenated?
Oxygenated
What is the smallest blood vessels containing oxygenated blood?
There is oxygenated blood in the efferent capillaries.
What are the 2 kinds of blood circulation in blood?
They are oxygenated and un oxygenated
