"Vérselas"?

I came across this phrase;

Vérselas de todos los colores

But I am stuck with the first word. Can't find it in the dictionary and Googling it didn't help much either.

Grateful for any help!

"vérselas" to be involved in a bad situation...

  • El náufrago va a vérselas negras cuando se le acabe la comida.

However I'd never listened "vérselas de todos los colores"... but this could mean "to be in a situation where the person will have to experience lots of doubts, troubles..."

That makes perfect sense, Toni, thanks, because it introduced a passage discussing the expression 'Qué marrón' - Jespa, Apr 1, 2010
