lividness

Intense seething anger

Lividness is the quality of being livid—either the bluish-gray discoloration of bruised or oxygen-deprived flesh, or intense anger.

The physical sense describes skin that has turned dark from injury or poor circulation: the lividness of the corpse's face.

The emotional sense conveys fury: His lividness was apparent from his clenched jaw.
