sed -i 's/yellow/black/g' $x; 
sed -i 's/red/black/g' $x;

Code:

for x in `cat temp.txt`; do
  sed -i 's/blue/black/g' $x
  sed -i 's/yellow/black/g' $x
  sed -i 's/red/black/g' $x
done

Although the preferred method would be to use "while read"

Code:

while read x ; do
  sed -i 's/\(blue\|red\|yellow\)/black/g' "$x"
done < temp.txt
