User blog comment:Creeper50/Blood Color Makes a Difference/@comment-5101683-20170129025046

I personally dislike color words. I find them to be a strange term of brainwashing.

For example: "The yellow sun" - no, the sun is white. "The green grass" - no, the grass is slightly pus-colored in specific places, and I've never seen a field where none of the grass was dead. The ground is brown, anyways. "The wine-colored/blue sea" - The sea is blue from far away, green when deep, and clear when shallow.

I personally think a sentence like "The blood flashed brown in his eyes, for his fragile mind could not comprehend its true color" would be at least moderately effective. But that's just me.
