  Just throwing it out there as I am not a boneologist.
  I have spent lots of time in the OR assisting with orthopedic stuff and have never seen bones any color but white unless you are talking about a rotting/diseased area

  I beg to differ. There's another way to find out what color your bones are.  A deep cut or laceration will show you as well.  Source: I hit my leg with an ax when I was 14. >
  
  Dont do that. Thats bad for your health. >
  
  In my defense it was an ax-ident!
  I'll show myself out. >
  
  Was your previous post just a set up for this one? >
  
  Not directly. I've just been telling the same joke for the last 13 years. >
  
  I don’t want to have to axe you to stop >
  
  I’d say this puts him on the chopping block >
  
  I know mine. So I guess I got that going for me?
  Fell off my bike when I was 12 or so. Landed on a big rock. Got up and was obviously in shock so didn't feel too bad. My brother asked if I was ok and I said "Yes, but my arm hurts a bit". He then pointed out that the shard of bone sticking out through my skin might have something to do with it. >
  
  This was basically my experience last May.   I had the third surgery in December on this arm,  hopefully it was the last. >
  
  I read something recently where bones can be all sorts of unexpected colors due to things like diet, but also ambient minerals in your region. Apparently green bones is not an uncommon thing. I also have had this in my brain , rent free for a couple weeks.
