No. The primary cause of the red color we associate with arterial blood is caused by the color of hemoglobin in its oxygen bound state.
If I may speculate as to what color blood would be without hemoglobin, I would guess probably a rather light brown. I am basing that speculation on the the fact that serum (the cell-free, liquid component of blood) is a light brown color and that most cells are white-grey in color.
