Anyone can play the "this is not the entire story". The OP didn't tell us if they were wearing a black shirt or a green shirt. And we don't know if the FA and pilot dislike green shirts or not or had too much sugar in their coffee or not.
There really need not be much more that is relevant to the situation than what can be discerned in the OP. Some FAs and captains really go off the wall when a passenger makes a comment that the FA and captain don't like. That some threaten passengers because of harmless statements or even carry out on their threats because of an essentially harmless statement does not shock me. I've seen it happen and so have prosecutors who decided the matter is not worth pursuing even as flight crews got the police involved and arrests were made.
