that is what pleural effusion is! it is excess fluid that accumulates in the pleural cavity. I'm assuming that there is a chest tube or the fluid has been aspirated in order for you to see the colour. but its normal to see a hint of blood or in some cases a lot of blood. all depends on the cause of the pleural effusion..but anyways for all you know the person may have a hemothorax. hope this helps!
