Back to blood, i think it should be purple! Not only is it fabulous, it would also just be more interesting. make a distinction.
And yes, the Frozen Throne cinematic could be interperated as "He's mostly demon at this point' but i doubt it. Orcs still have Red (Ok, very dark red) blood when they're all...Fel-ed.
So um...yeah, purple!
I have never played a nelf and likely never will, but...Shut up. Purple!
Knowledge is half the battle.
The other half is violence.

Purple! 'Cause it is both in game (Warcraft 3) and it makes them have more of a distinction to the other races. That's always good.

Speaking of blood, does orcs have red or black blood? I remember that they used to have black, and in the WC3 intro the orc seems to bleed black too, but has that changed?

There seems to be evidence for both, so I've no idea.

It's just a cosmetic effect, since WoW never makes sense science-wise. I'd say, just pick whichever you want and roll with it.

I have been told Orcs have a darker shade of blood than Humans due to a higher iron concentration.
But I must confess, I'm unsure of the reliability of the source.

According to WoWWiki orcs bleed black blood, although in game its red. I think most blood of humanoids is red in game so that players have an easier time associating with the characters.

All I know is that Draenei blood is blue.

NElf blood makes sense to be purple.
I reckon Orcish Blood would be extremely dark red, to the point where we might as well call it black. 'Cause they're more manly than men and stuff.
What would Forsaken bleed...there's still may be blood there potentially, so what would it end up being after a couple of hundred years of sitting doing nothing in their veins [and arteries].

Just gonna say this.
From what I know ORCS have black blood due to the fel corruption, fel corruption indeed changes your blood colour, it is stated somewhere on wowpedia, I can't remember very well...
And about night elf blood, I believe it is just red.. I don't see the reason for it not being red, they are not corrupted and they are still counted as humanoids, I go with red.

If it makes any difference, Illidan has purple blood as seen here. . .
