Just a feeling, but I like ...face went red... and ...sky turned very dark...Both are probably correct, but I don't like the sound of the sky went very dark. Personal preference I guess.

went is like informal, turn red looks like formal.

    Ahan,in my collocation book the verb "went"was chosen for both sentences and i asked here to see how important such combinations can be in eyes of native speakers of English.Thanks a lot ♡

    either one could be used reasonably but "turned" is probably the better word to use for both. Or you could use the word "became" for either one, but "turned" is still probably better.
