Color of feces is determined by bile pigments. When a red blood cell actually does become "tired blood," after 120 days, it is recycled by the body. The hemoglobin molecule is broken down into smaller molecules, the valuable iron atom at the center of it is scavenged, and the smaller molecules, known as bile pigments, are excreted by the liver into the gall bladder through the bile duct.
