The question is a little vague but I think it's referring to the difference in color between blood in the arteries and veins. Blood in the arteries is bright red. It is coming from the heart, by way of the lungs where it picks up oxygen, and then goes out to the tissues of the body to deliver it's oxygen. After the blood has delivered the oxygen it appears darker as it travels in the veins back to the heart. So "dark blood" would be found in the veins.
