Raynaud's: The color changes are part of the description of the syndrome of raynaud's. Thoracic outlet syndrome can mimic raynaud's. As there is no blood test for raynaud's, the classic color changes are important to the diagnosis. Perhaps they are just less in you than most, best to discuss with your doctor.
