Adding to Odile's post Innermurk says:

We have canon that the ghost's blood is in fact silver.
Moaning Myrtle blushes silver when she asks Harry to share her 
toilet. (I think that's when she does it, I don't have my book with 
me) Anyway, she blushes silver, and we know when we blush it's 
because the blood is rushing into our cheeks. Our color blushes are 
the color of our blood : Red. Their B&W blushes are the color of 
their blood : Silver.
