See red, blue and silver in container (4,1,6)
I believe the answer is:
blow a gasket
'see red' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'blue and silver in container' is the wordplay.
'blue' becomes 'low' (both can mean sad).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'container' becomes 'basket' (basket is a kind of container).
'low'+'ag'='lowag'
'lowag' placed within 'basket' is 'BLOW A GASKET'.
