Yeah, the expression literally translated to Dutch really sounds strange.
Anyone in the known of the origin of this expression in the English language? In particular where the 'color' part of it comes from?

I don't know. I guess I've heard it more often or originally as "Color me embarrassed."

We do relate some colors and emotions (red = angry or embarrassed, green = envy. blue = sad), so the idiom is a way of announcing emotion before it's facially apparent.

Thanks;  :)


In Dutch, we could use a variant of colored/blushing cheeks. "rode kaakjes", or "blozende kaakjes". Mostly for kids and and (younger) women though.

* Random quote

As the writhing, teeming mass of mindworms swarmed over the outer perimeter, we saw the defenders recoil in horror. 'Stay calm! Use your flame guns!' shouted the commander, but to no avail. It is well know that the Mind Worm Boil uses psychic terror to paralyze its prey, and then carefully implants ravenous larvae into the brains of its still-conscious victims. Even with the best weapons, only the most disciplined troops can resist this horrific attack.
