Correct, Erich.
However, if you really want to complicate things it is the red blood cells that give blood its red color. If all cells (red blood cells, white blood cells & platelets - not really cells...) are removed, the liquid portion of blood remains. This liquid is called plasma and it is the color of straw -- a light yellow.
Not so simple, indeed!
