I think the reason may be, depending on the printing technique:
a) to prevent opposing pages of color from bleeding onto each other, or
b) to avoid having double-sided color prints, which can be more expensive than binding a thicker book with single-sided color printing (depending upon the binding method).
It could also have been a design decision to allow breathing room between prints and ideas.

I think the explaination for the white pages is quite simple:
the audio interview recorded on the CDs was made while Lynch and the interviewer were flipping through a workprint of the book, but, of course, not the final book itself, since it was to include a transcript of that very interview (well, having those people being able to read a book where their interview is printed in it before they've spoken it would be very cool in a lynchian way, but you get the point)
Still, during that interview, they constantly refer to the artwork giving the specific page numbers where you can see each piece. So it was a must to print the finalized version, including changes made between the workprint and the definitive version, with a page number that was exactly the same in spite of the slight differences that must have happened during the finalization process.
So the blank pages would be there to insure that the page count throughout the whole book would be the same as the pages referred to on the audio tracks.
Hmmm... I hope that was clear enough.... it sounded very simple BEFORE I started trying to explain
