I had this a ton when I first had RSD. I was diagnosed at either 14 or 15, so I've had it since I was fairly young. It was one of the ways my doctor dx me. It's normal - at least for RSD - and a symptom of the condition. Yes, I also seemed to notice that when I had flare ups or a general increase in pain, there were color changes. I thought it was cool (in a warped way...wished I didn't have it of course, but I tried to make the most of it) that my foot would turn so many colors. When I put pressure on my foot, it turned deep purple. When it was cold, it turned blue or was a ghastly pale color. When it felt like it was on fire, it turned deep red, etc.
