Hi there !
Blood contains three types of cells suspended in fluid medium called plasma.
One of these cellular fractions is Red Blood Cell.
It contains the iron containing pigment called Haemoglobin. Due to this, it is red in colour.
Other cells are White Blood cells and platelets.
Best wishes...

Why Is Human Blood Red

In humans and other hemoglobin-using creatures, oxygenated blood is bright red. This is due to oxygenated iron in the red blood cells. Deoxygenated blood is a darker shade of red, which can be seen during blood donation and when venous blood samples are taken. However, due to an optical effect caused by the way in which light penetrates through the skin, veins typically appear blue in color. This has led to a common misconception that venous blood is blue before it is exposed to air. Another reason for this misconception is that medical charts always show venous blood as blue in order to distinguish it from arterial blood which is depicted as red on the same chart.

our human blood is red in colour due to the presence of the pigment haemoglobin. haemin is the iron content in the blood it is found on the surface of the blood corpuscels another type of blood is myioglobin it is white in colour due to magnesium content.

Actually it is blue inside our blood stream but as soon as oxygen hits it it turns red.
