Pale, white, blue, or cold toes or feet
When you are sitting, your toes or feet may turn slightly blue because of decreased blood flow. The color will usually return to normal when you move your legs and get blood moving into them again.
If your toes or feet become pale or blue and the color does not rapidly return to normal, blood circulation to your toes or feet might be decreased. These symptoms may be more serious if other changes occur to your lower legs and feet, such as thinning of the skin, sores that don't heal, or loss of hair.
