The Star Trek: Klingon CD-ROM program depicts a Blood Oath ceremony
conducted by Chancellor Gowron, and his blood was lavender as was the
blood of every Klingon depicted in the production.

In Star Trek Generations, Worf's knees can be seen to be bloodied by red
blood as he climbs from the water to the ship.

Perhaps the lavender blood was used in ST6 because of the scenes where
the blood would be floating in zero gravity. This may be considered too
gruesome a scene to some if the blood were realistically resembling
human blood.

Perhaps Klingon blood has a characteristic property that changes the
perceived color depending on the light in the environment. Just a
thought.
