I always rather liked the color of blood in the ampoules, all dark and stately.
A good nurse is used to the idea that people don't like giving blood. She tells you that it will only hurt about as much as getting your ears pierced, and asks if you want to lie down or need a cool cloth on your neck. Even those of us who don't need either of those things (I have fat juicy veins) are grateful for those nurses.
