Where does actually "angry black"?

my post today as I to have Adobe Photoshop terminology again, I asked myself where in fact the term "angry black" is and have a little geguhgelt. But look for yourself:

On The W-Files - Education, nobody needs I found the following:

offend someone black, it means that he almost annoyed to death. The saying that since the late 18th Century is also used in literature is a phrase for the discoloration of a dead state. This is particularly striking in this context, the term "the black death," the bubonic plague. In this disease, the body of the dying man covered with black spots.

Sometimes one has to hear but also "be angry green and blue. Here again, there's a couple of theories (the following answer is a compilation of www.wissen.de and Yahoo! Clever ):

Green in connection with "yellow" or "blue" in a few phrases. The origin is probably the color of the Bile (green) and yellow color as a symbol of envy. In Italian there is the term "diventare verde di bile," which means literally as "green with bile from his" angry and also the importance of strong has. If we are angry violent, filled the body of bile, which may mean that the face takes on a greenish color, how well does this phrase. Other similar phrases are important because even "me comes up the gall," "there goes my bile" and "it is something / a louse crawled over the liver (the bile is well known, produced in the liver).

So, here we have yet again learned something! :-) Schoen's daily!
