The term âblue bloodâ means a person of noble birth. It is an idiomatic expression that originated in Spain, referring to the paleness of aristocrats who had never married into Moorish or Jewish families. In medieval Europe the nobility did not work for a living, and so remained untanned by the sun and wind of the fields.
The idea that oxygenated blood is red and deoxygenated blood is blue is a common misconception. In fact, human blood is never blue. It does change color depending on the level of oxygenation. In the arteries, where blood is fully oxygenated, it appears bright red, while in the veins, where the oxygen is depleted, it is a dark red. Blood derives its red color from hemoglobin, a reddish iron-containing protein that is found in red blood cells.
