"You're telling me your bruises aren't green?"
--Overheard in the elevator in Evans Hall

Again, with the "I have no idea" category.

"Lab says bilirubin's just about exactly the color of Chilton's hair. Asylum humour, they call it."

Cool points.

BTW, 2nd degree sunburns half way through healing look a lot like bruises half way through healing. When I got mottled 2nd degree sunburns on my legs (patchily applied sunblock) & I had healed enough to wear anything over them & could wear shorts again, it caused my mom no end of embarrassment. It looked like she had been beating me.

Technocolor bruising ain't all it's cracked up to be, but does make for an interesting color scheme: black, purple, blue, teal, green, yellow. The starting color does depend on the severity of the bruise -- blue being a run of the mill bump to black being the result serious interal bleeding.

being an athletic training student, i can add to this...in the aging process of a bruise, the blood pool goes through several different colors - green shows up in the later stages

May be a racial thing. I mean, I've never seen a bruise through my "dark chocolate" brown skin, but aren't most bruises black and blue?

Well, can't make a statement on the context, but some bruises do tend to look green. Usually right before they look yellow. And that's right before they go away.
