Blood is always red. Human blood, anyway. This is true even though blood fairly quickly curdles and scabs to a brownish color when exposed to air (because of the oxidation of the iron in the blood; hence the word "Rust" in the trope name), to the point that chocolate syrup is often recommended to fake scabs. Even literary description of the stains, if they are not shown, must specifically say that the stains are of blood in order to be understood. This is probably done as a bit of visual shorthand, to let the audience (and other characters) know that the stains in question are actually blood, as opposed to other things that stain brown, such as mud, chocolate or feces. A similar error is to have fresh blood dilute when washed from red to a pinkish color. Due to the composition of blood (mostly red cells floating in plasma) diluting it with water actually turns it yellow, although it is feasible to have the water turn red if there’s a lot of blood going into not much water. Contrast Black Blood, which is deliberately toned down to spare the audience the harshness of fresh red blood. Bloody Murder is, oddly enough, entirely unrelated. |

Averted in the Heralds of Valdemar series. The robe of the Emperor of the East is described as the red of freshly spilled blood. The uniforms of his soldiers is described as the reddish brown of dried blood. The soldiers joke that this is so that you can't tell whether or not they've gotten blood on them, thus reducing laundry bills (It may even be the truth). | |

In Dragon Age, blood never seems to dry. Maybe warriors clean their armor off frequently, but one would assume mages in cloth robes/light armour or rogues in light/medium leather armor would have some trouble getting all the stains off. Also, you just keep getting hosed off with more blood in every single fight. They just need to get enough off so all that's left will just blend in with everything else in the game. | |

The Chzo Mythos games play this pretty straight most of the game. There's one notable exception in Trilby's Notes with one room that needs to be opened from the Dark World. When analyzing the brownish stains in the room, Trilby identifies them as dried blood and deduces the room must have been unoccupied for a long time. | |

Lampshaded in the "Tuesday the 17th" episode of Psych. While searching for a camp counselor who's been missing for days, Shawn, Gus, and the other counselors find her bloodstained pajamas in the laundry room. Later, Shawn comments that real blood would have dried and started flaking off by that point, which clues him in to the fact that it's all a hoax; the counselors are beta-testing a murder mystery/horror weekend they intend to hold at the camp. | |

Dexter: The pool of blood in which baby Dexter was found seems to have been made of this trope as it would have started to coagulate. Crime scenes he investigates as an adult also seem prone to this. Justified with the blood in Marina View Hotel because it had been refrigerated and mixed with anticoagulants. |

Silent Hill plays with this trope, where sometimes you must question if the walls are covered in rust or dried blood... as well as the fact that some monsters bleed blood that looks almost brown. There's plenty of fresh-looking blood to be found decorating the town's hellish Dark World, but given the nature of things it's hard to say how long it's supposed to have been there, or if it was ever even spilled from a living creature to begin with. | |

Averted in some instances in Fallout 3. The town of Minefield is full of decayed corpses. However, as the player searchs for mines they might spot a trail of bright red blood leading to a house, with a bloody red palm print on the door. The fact that this blood is fresh is a clue that the player is about to be attacked by a sniper. Played completely straight in abandoned areas, such as Vault 87. | |

Though a subversion does appear in Spirit of Justice; in Turnabout Revolution, a corpse that's several days old is found in the middle of the trial. There's no time for proper testing, but one blood splatter near the arm is bright red, while the blood around the fatal chest wounds is dark brown. This is a major clue for the player, since it indicates the corpse's clothes were borrowed and used in a more recent murder, which is where the fresh blood came from. | |

Death on the Nile has the bloodstained cloth wrapped around the gun. When they pull it out of the titular river, the water has diluted the bloodstain into a pink color. Then Subverted when Poirot correctly indicates that blood would not turn that color from the water — it's actually nail polish. The fact that it is not blood when the apparent sequence of events indicates that it should be is what puts him onto the killer's trail. | |

Example from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The bloodstains on the Shadow Temple's torture equipment look bright and fresh — although this could just be an apparition, what with it being inside a magic temple and all... Or, to up the ante on the Nightmare Fuel quotient of that place, it really could have been fresh... The 3DS remake makes them more brown, though. | |

Despite only having had a single bucket of blood dumped on her, the titular character of Carrie remained red and dripping as she walked all the way home. Then, due to the type of fake blood used, when she washed it off in the bathtub it inexplicably turned pink. And despite sitting around for hours, the blood hadn't coagulated or turned brown in the bucket before being dumped on Carrie's head. In the novel, it had been transported in buckets of ice, and had frozen in transit, to thaw between placement and deployment. | |

Often appears in Warhammer 40,000. For some factions (especially Khorne, the Blood God) it's presumably a magical gift. In the case of the Eldar God Khaela Mensha Khaine, also known as the Bloody Handed God of Murder, the blood that drips eternally from his hands is that of the Eldar hero Eldanesh, whose murder began the War in Heaven and caused Khaine's curse to eternally have Eldanesh's blood on his hands. Space Marine blood is both hyper-oxygenated and clots nearly instantly. Depending on the Writer this can lead to spilled blood staying crimson long after it's stopped flowing. Games Workshop offers a paint named (appropriately enough) "Blood for the Blood God" which is a livid, glossy red for painting blood spatter and gore on your models. Since it's a gloss paint, the "blood" will always look fresh. The World Eaters, Khorne's dedicated berserkers, have red-and-brass armor, which was blue-and-white pre-Heresy. Naturally, the idea is that they've done so much killing that their armor has been stained by the blood, but the Real Life aversion of this trope refutes it (In-Universe even). |

Deadpool's original white uniform is still bright red from the blood stains at the laundromat, long after the blood had time to dry up. (It could be considered Fridge Brilliance once you realize that his cells are immortal and never die.) | |

Lampshaded in an episode of Millennium (1996). Two people working on a slasher movie were fooling around with bags of fake blood shortly before they were murdered. This caused the crime to appear much more violent than it actually was. As Frank Black arrives at the scene he soon tastes some of the blood (to the puzzlement and revulsion of others present) and comments that it is fake blood, which he already figured out since real blood turns brown as it dries. | |

In the Merry Gentry series, certain Redcaps (see Folklore above), usually the most powerful ones, have the magical ability to keep the blood on their hats from drying out and rusting. | |

SCP: Secret Laboratory averted this with the Parabellum update - bloodstains will darken over time, going from a bright red to a brown colour. Before this, their colour remained static. | |

True of every bloodstain ever appearing in the Ace Attorney series. Or if not all, then at least most. This at one point causes problems for one character, who can't distinguish red on white. Though a subversion does appear in Spirit of Justice; in Turnabout Revolution, a corpse that's several days old is found in the middle of the trial. There's no time for proper testing, but one blood splatter near the arm is bright red, while the blood around the fatal chest wounds is dark brown. This is a major clue for the player, since it indicates the corpse's clothes were borrowed and used in a more recent murder, which is where the fresh blood came from. |

Angel Beats!, pictured. Otonashi's shirt is still sopping wet with bright red blood after he recovers from being stabbed in the chest in the clinic. Even with the Healing Factor, some of it ought to have dried. Or, you know, reabsorbed into his body, since that happens at a different point soon after. | |

Averted in A Study in Scarlet. Holmes discovers a method of detecting haemoglobin through a chemical re-agent and is overjoyed because it now gives people an infallible test for bloodstains. | |

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune averts this trope properly; Drake comes across a beached U-Boat, whose crew were really torn up by something. Over the decades, all the blood on the surfaces and corpses has faded to a rusty brown that's not even recognizable as blood unless you know what to look for. | |

Dead Space 3 is perhaps the most heinous offender. The Sovereign Colonies Galactic Expedition wiped itself out 200 years prior to the events of the game... But there is plenty of splattered blood around the place that's just slightly darker in color, rather than completely bleached or at least brown. Gets downright ridiculous in the pressurized, properly oxygenated environment of the derelict starships in orbit around Tau Volantis. Possibly justified with a bit of Fridge Logic: Late in the game you find a leaper that's been pinned to a wall, and a note near by that tells you that, even after you shoot them to pieces, the cells in a necromorph don't die, seemingly kept "alive" by the Marker Signal. If it's necromorph blood (and after two hundred years, it would be) then it couldn't degrade. | |

Exaggerated/ Parodied in Super Meat Boy. The titular Meat Boy bleeds everywhere, leaving a bright red trail everywhere he runs and jumps. And yes, when you are inevitably shredded by the many, many buzzsaws, they stain red too. If you fall onto them repeatedly, they become bloodier and bloodier with each death. | |
