bilby commented on the word red mist
I know I'm not the milk and honey kind
Today I proved it true
When the red mist falls around my eyes
I know not what I do
Please give me back today
And I won't say the things I said
Or do that thing I did
Every minute, every hour
The replay's just the same
And I can't stand the shame
Oh let me start today again
- Paul Kelly, 'If I Could Start Today Again'.

I haven't heard this exact phrase, but I've heard "seeing red" or "seen red" to describe the phenomenon.
Also, I've actually seen red myself. It's very disturbing.
