But... "The dark color of the blood, maroon or oxblood, for instance, suggests the sadness that the man feels as a result of this tragic scene." doesn't really make much sense. It doesn't matter what color the blood is during that scene, if the author builds the connections strong enough, it could be white (see: Alien) without impacting anything.
