Fang's Question

If you choke a smurf what color does it turn?

I would say purple.

Purple/white

Am I the only one who thought red?

Red is for humans, but if you mix red with blue you get purple.

Seriously? I thought humans turn bluish when they choke...

They wouldn't change color. If you choke a smurf,you would restrain the oxygen from turning the blood red, which creates the blue color that humans turn. Since smurfs are already blue from god knows what, it would either not change at all or turn into a darker shade of blue.

How do you know they have red blood lol?

Because that's how blood works through all kinds of animals.

Smurfs aren't animals and Piccolo has purple blood.

Piccolo doesn't exist.

Don't say that . Well if he doesn't exist then you and the smurfs don't exist

Who thinks up questions like these

The smurf wouldn't change color, like Flame said. Anything with blood, no matter what the color, will turn blue if the oxygeon supply is taken away.

Fang does
I thought blood turns blue because it is red...?

Blood is blue until it reacts with air or something. That's why if you can see the veins in your arm or whatever, the veins are blue.

So we have blue blood? Ironic that everyone thinks it red...

Probably because we only see it when it's red.

ace is right....its the deoxygenated vs. the oxygenated blood...

How about if the blood is purple?

It isn't. When the blood doesn't have oxygen it turns into such a dark red that it looks blue.

Dont you mean when blood does have oxygen it is blue.

Hemoglobin that contains ox is called oxyhaemoglobin and turns a bright red, but once it lets out the ox it picks up carbon and becomes carboxyhaemoglobin and a dark red/purple color.

yay medical textbooks!

No. It's never blue. It turns really dark red but it looks blue to us. And no, when blood is revealed to oxygen it turns red, which is what you see when you accidentally cut yours, but when you don't have any oxygen, your blood turns that dark red (blue) color.

Dark red is never blue for the simple fact that they are both primary colors. Dark red at most will look dark brown/ black.
