Q: i think our blood is blue inside of us and me and my friends are having huge fights about. if blood is red, So why do our lips turn blue when we die?

A: Oxygenated blood is red, and de-oxygenated blood is darker, but still red. Veins carry the darker de-oxygenated blood back towards your heart. The reason that veins appear blue is the way light is reflected from them (and the darkened blood), to your eyes when you look at them. This also accounts for blue lips as the blood in a deceased person is not being oxygenated since they are no longer breathing, and the blood is darker (thus reflecting blue).Try punching a small hole in a white piece of paper and then holding the hole in the paper over your vein, it will no longer appear blue because you’re removing the light reflecting from your veins by blocking it with the paper. Hope this answered your question =)

what color is blood when it is inside your veins – this is not a joke – I am seriously wondering?

Q:

A: The exact colour of blood depends upon the relative levels of oxygenated iron (HbO) and CO2 in the blood. The higher the CO2 percentage, the more bluish it tends to become. However, the blood in veins does not have CO2 in that high concentration. So deoxygenated blood in veins is a darker hue of red. It appears blue when you look at it through skin because the light reflected by the blood has to pass through fat deposits and the skin before entering your eyes, so it creates an optical illusion.
