The fat under your skin absorbs low frequency light - reds, and yellows. Only the more energetic light is reflected from the vein, the blues and purples. On the surface of the skin, this gives veins a blue/purple look, but if you were to cut the skin and fat away, the vein would be a dark red, the same colour as the deoxygenated blood inside.

Is there blue blood inside the body and when it hits the oxygenthen it turns red?
Your blood is bright red in the artery and dark red in veins. You do not have [ blue blood ] . It only appears blue because the veins which are white are are carrying dark red blood and being viewed through the skin which difuses the light and makes them appear blue. that is partly true but I have herd from all my teachers that your blood is blue in the arteries. Which when you get cut the air puts oxygen in the blood stream that makes the blood turn red. answer #2 The statement that blood is blue inside the body and turns red when in contact with blood makes little sense. How can this be so when blood itself is used to transport oxygen throughout the body? It is not possible for blood to be blue inside the body as well as carry out one of it's main functions. Answer#3 Actually blood is red in the arteries and blue in the vein. Blood in the artery has already combined with oxygen whereas blood in the vein has yet to receive oxygen. So in fact there is both red and blue blood. When a vein is cut open it hits oxygen in the air causing it to turn red. Answer#4 The protein hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, changes shape when it binds oxygen. When it changes shape, it absorbs different wavelengths of light, making it change color. When blood is exposed to air, much more of the hemoglobin absorbs oxygen than had in the vein the blood came from (in the veins, the hemoglobin has already given up most of its oxygen to the body). Therefore, the blood turns red. This also means that blood in the body, once it has been oxygenated, is also red, though much more so when it reaches open air. I think it would be a fun experiment to put your hand in a vacuum chamber with a tight seal around your wrist and prick your finger to see the difference in blood color.
