Blood veesels that are red are carrying blood that is rich in oxygen. Blood vessels that are blue are carrying blood that is oxygen poor. Red blood cells carry the oxygen, and they are the parts of the blood that turns red when carrying oxygen.

What color is de oxygenated blood?

No. De-oxygenated blood is a dark red color. It may look blue in an anatomy and physiology text book, but the authors do that to show more clearly which blood vessels, usually veins, that carry de-oxygenated blood. That is why they color them blue. And then the arteries, which usually carry oxygenated blood, are colored red. In real life, your veins look blue because of the other tissues that have pigments in them that you have to look through to see your veins. Even though they appear on the outside to be blue, in fact, on the inside they are carrying deep dark red blood. Just look at the vial of blood the next time the nurse draws some for a test.
