Why do bruises turn purple?

Why do bruises turn different colors?

  • Like green or blue or purple.

  • Answer:

    As the blood breaks down after a bruise occurs, a pigment called bilirubin accumulates; it's a yellow/green color, and it mixes with the blood from the bruise to give you that lovely sunset look. As it happens, I have a nasty one on my arm at the moment!
