What color is blood?

you know how it looks blue under your skin?
if your arms be in an airproof box, beside no oxygen in it...
and you cut yourself

what color would the blood be??

blue or red?

Answer:
the blood would be red not blue. oxygen would not relocate the color. the blue you see is you vein tissue. blood get its red color b/c of the iron that is contained by it.
Blue..it becomes red once oxygen hits it...
Blood with the sole purpose appears red when.. Screw it. Just read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vein#color.
From Ask A Scientist (and other sources):

"Whole blood is not blue. It is either bright red (with oxygen) or misty red (without oxygen). Skin pigments and blood vessel coverings often engender the blood seem bluish when looking at vessel on the skin."
Hi. Dark red. The bright red indicates that the hemoglobin is saturated next to oxygen.
Your blood would probably be blue, and then you would probably die form loss of it and from drought of air.
Blood is never blue. The color of blood is due to an absorbance by the heme group of hemoglobin which depends on what ligands are bound to it. When oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, it have a bright red appearance. When CO2 is bound, as in venous blood, it have a darker red appearance.
insubstantial red when oxygenated, dark red when deoxygenated.
