What color is de oxygenated blood?
No. De-oxygenated blood is a dark red color. It may look blue in an anatomy and physiology text book, but the authors do that to show more clearly which blood vessels, usually veins, that carry de-oxygenated blood. That is why they color them blue. And then the arteries, which usually carry oxygenated blood, are colored red. In real life, your veins look blue because of the other tissues that have pigments in them that you have to look through to see your veins. Even though they appear on the outside to be blue, in fact, on the inside they are carrying deep dark red blood. Just look at the vial of blood the next time the nurse draws some for a test. You will see that it is dark red.

Which blood vessel has blood color?
All vessels containing blood would have red blood; in arteries and in veins and smaller vessels.The blue appearance of veins is an optical illusion that comes from the way light works on skin. The veins look blue because they are closer to the surface, if arteries were not as deep, they would look blue, too. It has nothing to do with oxygenation of blood in arteries and all to do with the properties of light and skin.
What causes blood to be blue?
Blood never turns blue. It's been argued that it turns blue without oxygen, but this is merely a myth. The blue color you see is the color of the tissue that makes up your veins. Blood will however, take on a darker shade of red without oxygen, but it never goes anywhere near the color blue. If you would like to see for yourself, the next time you get a blood draw, or you donate blood, look at the blood in the tube. The tube is a vacuum (so no oxygen) and the blood does not look blue.
