Hello,
The blood vessels on usually appear greenish-blue on dorsum of hand. The skin on fingers can appear blue due to reduced blood supply or reduced oxygen supply. This can occur due to various reasons. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
