Blood is red due to the presence of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the molecule that carries oxygen around the body which is held in the red blood cells. In hemoglobin there are four atoms of iron which can be in an oxidized state, i.e in which an atom of oxygen attached to it makes it red, and in a non-oxidized state it is dark red-blue maroon.
