Subject: What the heck would that be based on?

I mean, iron gives red, copper we know gives blue-green... so that means you can derive blood-colour from the colour of the transition metal ions in solution/complexes. So... hmm...

... I am not the person to be figuring this out. I mean, yes, I know the chemistry - but being somewhat colour-blind means figuring out whether Chromium(III) solution is dark blue or dark purple is an impossibility.

This lovely chart shows colours for the top row - chromium or copper (II) could be blue on there. But we know copper blood is greenish...

(And, y'know, heaven forfend we delve beyond the first row of the d-block)
