Any colored substance or pigment in blood, particularly hemoglobin and related iron-containing compounds.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'chroma' (color). Scientists named this to describe the visible pigments that give blood its distinctive red color and related hues.
The red color you see in your blood comes from iron in haemochrome—if you have too little iron, not enough haemochrome is made, and you become anemic.
