Blood is also red due to iron for the sane reasons rust is red. Rust isn't very vibrant on metal for other reasons, I'd assume mostly because it's mixed with something not clear.

I'm not sure if this is why, bit the color depends on how oxidized each atom of iron becomes, so if you have a mix of different oxidation levels, you would also have a mix of the colors
