The idiom is "talk until I'm blue in the face." It is often said when someone is frustrated and feels not heard, and is often said by parents to their children.
It can generally be interpreted as:
"I've talked so much I'm running out of air and you still act like you don't hear me!"
Examples:
(parent to a child): "I've told you 'No!' until I'm blue in the face! The answer is still, 'NO'!"
(husband to wife, in bad communication): "I've asked you until I'm blue in the face to stop shopping and spending my whole paycheck on clothes!"
