  Blood normally begins to dry after three to five minutes.  As it dries, the bloodstain darkens in color until it is completely dry and becomes reddish or dark brown.  Old, dried blood may become so dark as to appear black.  Mold, putrefaction, or chemical changes can cause bloodstains to appear black, green, blue, or grayish-white in color.  (Note:  the color of the blood should be recorded!)
  If the blood falls on a porous material, such as cloth, paper, porous brick, or soft wood, the original color may be altered by the contamination of the blood with the substructure of the porous material.
  Bloodstains on a dark background may be difficult to recognize.  A flashlight can be used to reveal the bloodstains.  Under artificial light a dried blood stain may appear as a glossy or flat varnish against a dull background.  When using a flashlight, the beam should be shined parallel to the object rather than perpendicular.
