What does flipar en colores mean?

ExpressionColoquial

to be utterly gobsmacked

Flipar already means to be amazed; en colores takes it to the limit. It works for good and for bad, though nearly always for the unbelievable in the negative sense. It is one of the most vivid expressions in the Spanish of Spain and there is nothing vulgar about it.

Cuando me lo contó flipé en colores.
Disbelief, and no words to go with it.
