what gives hemoglobin it's colour? 
It is the presence of iron which gives it the colour.

The gases combining with hemoglobin can also influence the colour of blood. (carboxy haemoglobin- etc)

changing the iron from hemoglobin and placing another element in it's place can help change the colour of blood. But there is an important property , binding with oxygen and carbon di oxide.
