Big toe turns red and blue what can it be?

Depends: The skin color can determine many things like bruises, infection or inflammation. You should have a podiatrist take a look at it.

Infected: Ingrown toenails could do that. Does the toenail look ingrown or infected?

Many things: You could have a vascular compromise issue (possibly raynaud's) or an infection or a trauma to your toe. Good luck.
