The blood turns red once it has come into contact with oxygen. This is why your veins appear blue, purple, etc, but when you cut yourself the blood is red. Not sure about details, but oxygen changed the color.

∙ 11y agoIncreased oxygen content of the returning pulmonary blood is responsible for the bright red coloration. The farther out the blood travels; from the lungs, the darker it will become. The oxygen molecules are attached to a hemoglobin molecule. The more oxygen enriched the hemoglobin is the sample of blood the brighter red that sample will be.

It comes from an artery. Arteries carry OXYGENATED blood away from heart. This oxygenated blood is bright red. The Arterial system is on the high pressure side of the heart. The pressure changes as the heart contracts and then expands and refills (a heartbeat). When an artery is punctured the blood will spurt with every heartbeat.
