This is due to oxygenated iron in the red blood cells. Deoxygenated blood is a darker shade of red, which can be seen during blood donation and when venous blood samples are taken.

This has led to a common misconception that venous blood is blue before it is exposed to air. In humans and other hemoglobin-using creatures, oxygenated blood is bright red.
