seeing red

In bullfighting, the matador beckons the bull with a red cape, which agitates the bull, and it charges for the cape.

Seeing red refers to when someone becomes so angered that it controls them, enraging the person.

see red

referring to an initial indication of battle frenzy, or homicidal trance, during which survivors have said their entire visual field was "tinged with a pink haze" (from a Civil War account of the Battle of the Wilderness - the "Cornfield" encounter battle). During this frenzy, an attacker's fear transforms into ecstatic fury leading them to kill friend and foe alike, and afterward recalled (if at all) in a fragmented series of vignettes, from a perspective outside the attacker's own body, with a disturbing, dim echo of joy. Usually used in the first person, simply to mean " I became enraged".

To see red: "When he broke my heirloom punch bowl, I saw red and grabbed the fireplace poker."
