The blood they have is blueish-green. Haemolymph or hemolymph is a fluid found in its circulatory system that is comparable to blood in certain respects, such as water. It's blood is blueish-green because it's blood contains hemocyanin, a copper-based protein that turns blue when oxygenated. It does NOT contain hemoglobin which is iron-based, which is in red bloods cells. When not oxygenated, hemolymph (haemolymph) quickly loses its color and has a grey appearance.
