Fingers and feet turn blue in the elderly because these individuals have poor circulation. The blue color is the effect of the area becoming cold.

Why hands and feet tingle and turn blue?

Sounds rather like poor circulation. Lack of oxygen in the feet (or elsewhere) could cause cyanosis, and that makes the skin look blue. When the blood supply has been cut off from, say, the feet, and then returns, tingling is sometimes felt.

When does your finger turn white?

I think it has something to do with Raynaud's disease. That means that when it's cold, your veins narrow, causing the flow of blood to your hands or feet to decrease or even stop. Result: your fingers/toes turn white or even blue. Normally, this stops after a few minutes or hours and then they turn pink again. During this process, your fingers can tingle or hurt. The best thing to do is keep yourself warm and avoid smoking, because that could also trigger it. I'm not one hundred percent sure whether it's right, but that's what I read about it.
