See red, blue and silver lining hamper (4,1,6)

'see red' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'blue and silver lining hamper' is the wordplay.
'blue' becomes 'low' (both can mean sad).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'lining' is an insertion indicator.
'hamper' becomes 'basket' (I've seen this in another clue).
'low'+'ag'='lowag'
'lowag' placed inside 'basket' is 'BLOW A GASKET'.

Can you help me to learn more?
