Are you cold? My feet are always cold and they turn that color so I usually wear socks around the house and slippers. This time of year its not so fun since I really like wearing sandles but if I'm out and about they usually stay my normal skin color.
Other questions to think about which your doctor will ask you are:
Have you been eating healthy? Including a lot of vegetables in your diet especially green ones?
Are you anemic? Green vegetables help with that but it's something that a doctor has to check the extent of.
Are you active? Do you exercise? Do you at least get some good walking in to get your circulation going.
But you definately need to see a doctor about it because it could be something serious or something simple but it's not worth the risk to assume it's something simple.

Sometimes when your fingers or toes turn dark a darker shade, it is an indication of poor blood circulation. Do you have any numbness or tingling? Any movement restrictions or pain? You may wish to go see a doctor or a nurse if it doesn't go away in a few days.

That's not good. If you can't feel your toes or you have that pins and needles feeling then get to a doctor or call 911. It could mean blood isn't circulating to your toes.

Have you talked to a doctor about this? I'm wondering if you could possibly have poor circulation. I've never heard of this before, someone else may know what this is, but if no one does I'd see my doctor.

It could mean poor circulation. You can have it checked out by a doctor or something.

You're losing circulation! You should probably go to a doctor...

Have your doctor to check you for Reynolds disease.
