I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'black and blue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for livid that I've seen before include "Unpleasantly colourful" , "Furiously angry, the colour of lead" , "infuriated" , "Really angry, the colour of lead" , "Angry; marked with bruise" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
