dark red

Explanation:

pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs

there's a misconception that deoxygenated blood is blue but in fact it's dark red (slightly darker than oxygenated blood), only some animals can have blue blood flowing through their bodies

but due to the large amount of red blood cells (which contains hemoglobin )in human blood so it's red
