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?

What an interesting question! Our blood is red period. Darker when it has less oxygen, brighter red when it has lots of oxygen. It just looks blue through the skin.

How that translates to Vulcan? I have no idea. I bet it's still green though...

We need to trap one and find out...

That would be a fun challenge. I want in on that!
