Raynauds: It is possible you are having a vaso-spasm. This can cause color changes. I suggest you see your family dr.

Dependent rubor: Is a condition where blood pools in the foot when the legs are in a dependent position. This tends to occur in people with venous insufficiency. Raynaud's syndrome or disease can also cause feet to undergo color changes.
