      Hi @theawkening

      It is a sort-of fleshy colour when blood is being supplied to the arteries and capillaries in the brain, but when dead the brain is less fleshy in colour and more gray-like.

      I hope that answers your question.

      Hi @theawakening and @beckyxxx

      I can’t really add anything to what Tim’s said. I’ve never seen a real brain in real life, it’s one of my ambitions as a scientist!!!
