You determine the age of a bruise or contusion by its coloring. Darker black and blue is very recent. Addition of green, yellow, maroon, red, gray makes it look worse, but it is not new, but more than 24-48 hours old. As the bruise lightens, the colors turn pastel and can spread, making the bruise look bigger. The paler the pastel colors, the closer to being healed.

Note: A very mild bruise may never get very dark at all.
