dark red is blood that has been in there for a while and therefore it is really old. Bright red is brand new blood

It's best for blood to be bright red.

Blood coloration is directly dependent upon the amount of oxygen or contaminant that is in the particular sample.

You have to remember that it is not just blood that is coming out, it is the blood-filled lining of your uterus. Some of it is blood and some of it is tissue from your uterine wall.
