Because they become deoxygenated.
The red blood cells themselves do not take any action to get more oxygen, but the kidneys sense a lack of oxygen and produce more erythropoietin (hormone responsible for producing red blood cells) and this in turn increases oxygen levels
Distilled water mixed with red cabbage water will turn a bluish color due to the anthocyanins in the red cabbage affecting the pH of the solution.
Lack of oxygen causes blood cells to appear blue. Remember that all veins except the pulmonary vein carry 'oxygen depleted blood' or deoxygenated blood. Dont worry that your veins appear blue though! Its fine.
redThe hemoglobin turns bright red when it picks up oxygen. However, hemoglobin will also absorb carbon monoxide gas, which is why it is so dangerous.
After death, lips can start to turn purple within a few hours due to the settling of blood in the lower parts of the body, a process known as livor mortis. This discoloration is a result of blood pooling and the breakdown of red blood cells, which can cause the skin to appear bluish or purplish. The extent and timing can vary based on factors such as the environment and the individual's health prior to death.

Bluish/purplish if a person is dead. Living people with low oxygen levels will look pale.
The red blood cells turn it red; before that plasma is an off hite color

Babies can be red, bluish, purplish, or yellow at birth. They soon turn a normal color.
Red blood cells need oxygen. Oxygen is what gives blood that bright red color. When blood is lacking oxygen, it turns dark and that's why people turn purple or blue.
Human red blood cells are suspended in a straw colored yellowish substance called plasma. If red blood cells were destroyed, it is more likely the blood sample would look less red and more yellowish, but certainly not completely white.

no at least not under normal conditions.
