Is the color red really the color of blood?

Answer 1

By most mammals it's red. The blue color of the veins can be explained by the fact that you see your veins through your skin, your skin works like a sort of color filter, but the blood is always red

Answer 2

Blood is red. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Plasma, by it self is yellowish in color. It makes up 50-60% of our blood. White blood cells and platelets have no color but appear white when they are grouped together, as when blood is separated in a centrifuge. Red blood cells are red, always. Red blood cells make up at least 40% of our blood.

Blood ALWAYS has oxygen in it. That is why it is circulated throughout the body, to carry oxygen to all of our organs and extremities.

Answer 3

While blood is often depicted as red, its color actually varies depending on oxygen levels. Blood appears bright red when oxygenated and darker red when deoxygenated. So, while red is commonly associated with blood, it's not always its true color.

Answer 4

You have red and blue blood only when you bleed it is red never blue or you have to go to the hospital when a lot of red blood is together in a clump like in a bag at the hospital

Answer 5

No, the red blood cells in the blood cause the red colour of blood. The plasma is actually a faint yellow colour.

Answer 6

no blood is blue when its in your body
