color up
Flush with embarrassment
To color up is to blush or flush, typically from embarrassment, anger, or exertion: She colored up when he mentioned her name.
In poker and casino games, coloring up means exchanging smaller-denomination chips for larger ones: The dealer colored up my stack before I left the table.
