  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. >
  
  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 have seen my own bones on occasions, because I was a reckless youth, and they were white....but I did read this somewhere. The veracity of this.... I can't say for sure. It sounded legit and too weird to be a lie. By "common" I really can't say. There's a whole stinking heap of people on this Earth. If I remember correctly, the article had something to do with post-mortem experience. >
  
  First off, osteologist
  Second, this breed of chicken is BLACK. Of course, feathers, but also skin, beak, talons, and skin. Their flesh and bones are gray, and i think i remember the documentary saying even their blood is darker. >
  
  I busted my knuckle open, it’s startlingly white.  Didn’t break anything though. >
  
  I was in a car crash. The dashboard and center console were crushed into my right leg. I had a gash on my shin deep enough that I could see (and feel) my Tibia. It was white. Just so ya know, your bones can feel 😏 >
  
  It’s actually not the bone that hurts but bones are covered with thin tissue which contain nerve fibers. >
  
  I assume teeth are different bones than the rest of your bones >
  
  They are not even technically bones iirc. >
  
  they have the same chemical makeup, they're just missing collagen connectors.  the color would be the same but technically they are classified as different things >
  
  Teeth i think would be harder I hope... >
  
  I'm gonna assume mine are the same color as everyone else that died before me >
  
  I have seen my own Femur bone before it was white. I even saw the center of it which was also white. Then I passed out and woke up in the hospital a few hours later!! >
  
  Was it still white at that point?
