What is the origin of the idiom "see red" and when to use it?

The idiom "see red" is believed to have originated from the physiological response of the human body during intense emotional states, particularly anger. The phrase is commonly used in situations where individuals feel deeply angered, provoked, or threatened, leading to an intense visceral reaction. It can be used during arguments, conflicts, or confrontations when emotions run high and individuals may act impulsively or aggressively.
