Healthy blood is red. According to Dr. Lichtin, the color you will see when you get a cut will always be red. Although it can vary in shade, ranging from a bright cherry red to a darker brick red, it consistently remains within the red spectrum.
| Color Variation | Description |
|---|---|
| Bright Red | Oxygen-rich blood |
| Dark Red | Oxygen-poor blood |
While the shade of red may vary depending on oxygen levels, it will always be a shade of red. There's no need to worry if your blood looks different within this spectrum, as it is completely normal and healthy.
