    Wouldn't it be obvious that blood color of orcs be orcish? Haven't you seen a orcish color before? Well it's more red, a bit blue, some green, 2 parts of white and 1/2 gram of purple.

    biologically, I'd say red due to oxygen requirement of a surface dweller.

    mythologically(sp?), I'd say black for being tainted and infused with evil.

    as for green? Well.. green skin? Dunno :)

    Personally, I consider Tolkien's works to be the definitive source for orcs so I will have to go with black.

    Red. They still need haemoglobin, and thats what makes it red. And because they can mate with humans, i would say that there would be a strong physical connection. Yep, red.

    [​IMG] I refuse to take this poll until blue is added because blue is the color I think it is.

    It all depends where the blood comes from. If you chopped off its' head the blood would be red. If you chopped off its' arm its' blood would be pink, leg blue and left small toe has yellow blood. But saying that, if an orc where to give its blood willingly its blood will be multicoloured.
