    According to Dr. McCoy, Vulcan blood is based on copper (as opposed to iron in human blood), and that is why it is green, This also accounts for Vulcan skin being yellow.

    • This is actually biologically possible. The horseshoe crab has copper based blood.

    • Good answer, until the end. Tuvoc had yellow skin?

    • Timm Russ (the actor who played Tuvok) has a skin tone too dark to show a yellow tint, but if his skin were lighter, I'm sure they'd use it. Other Vulcans seen onscreen have had a slight olive tint applied.

    • And Romulans are practically GREEN of skin (as of Nemesis), and they share a biological ancestor with Vulcans.
