Nice work and welcome to scripting!

The reason why the part starts red is because the part has probably already touched another part that is NOT you. This could be the platform under the part or a part that's already touching it. This happens because the Touched event fires when any other part touches that part. To fix this, you will need to check if the part that touched it is one of your own character parts.

local block = script.Parent
on = true

--Inside the function() we can enter a parameter called "hit" to define the part that touches.
block.Touched:connect(function(hit)

    --We can wrap all this inside another if statement to check if "hit" is a part inside your character by finding the humanoid in the parent of "hit"
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        if on == true then

            block.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Really red')
            wait(1)

            on = false
        else
            block.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Lime green')
        end
    end
end)
