Is blood ever blue?
Blood in the arteries is bright red from the oxygen content, blood in the veins is dark red from the lack of oxygen.

Barring any crazy things, blood is never blue. It is always red, ranging from bright red (oxygenated) to dark red (deoxygenated).

Blood is never blue. Blood is described as dark red (venous) or bright red (arterial). Thanks for using ChaCha!

No, blood is essentially a shade of red at all times, although plasma itself is clear or yellowish clear. ChaCha again!

About Blood
The average adult has about five liters of blood inside of their body, coursing through their vessels, delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissue and carbon dioxide from the body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys.
