Brief Answer:
It could be due to blood circulation

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .
When you hold it with hand the blood vessels get blocked looking it white and on releasing our hand blood flow starts again making it to look red .However this has no significance at all .

Thanks and Regards.
