Description
The color of blood depends on its oxygen level. When hemoglobin has a full oxygen load, it has a bright red color, and when it's deoxygenated it's a darker red. For example, arterial and capillary blood is bright, and venous blood is dark. Upon exposure to air, deoxygenated blood quickly oxygenates and turns a brighter shade of red.
