Okay, here's a question...

Human blood uses iron to transport oxygen molecules.  Oxygen-carrying blood is red--it's oxidized, after a fashion...rusty.  Fine. 

Vulcan blood (I know, work with me here) uses copper to transport oxygen.  Oxygenated copper turns green (or greeny-blue).  So... 

Is unoxygenated Vulcan blood...red?

*applause* Are you half-Vulcan yourself?

Oh, gracious me, no. I tend to run much more along the same genetic make-up as Captain Kirk - undiplomatic, rabidly emotional, and often illogical in my reasoning. However, I am a scientist by trade so I can speak the language quite well.
