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.
