Hello and welcome to HCM,
The color of any liquid drug that you see may be syrup, injection ampulle, etc is largely due to the color of the glass of the ampulle.
Thus it will as the color of the glass and not due to its own color.
The actual color can only be determined when the drug is taken out of the ampulle.
The injury that you sustained could lead to tetanus infection and other bacterial infections, thus you are given tetanus toxoid as well as antibiotic in the form of doxycyclin.
Thanks and take care
