Chromatophobia is an abnormal and persistent fear of colors. Like most fears and phobias, the fear of color is created by the subconscious mind as a protective reaction.  It was likely an emotionally traumatic event in ones past that was linked to colors in general or a specific color.  Because the association of colors to that traumatic event is so strong, when subjected to colors later in life the unconscious mind brings up terrible feelings.   The phobia affects people in different ways, with some experiencing the suffering all the time and others just to direct stimuli.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/11/11/the-absolutely-scariest-colors-imaginable/"><H2>Specific Color Phobias:</H2></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/11/11/the-absolutely-scariest-colors-imaginable/"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD><STRONG>Phodophobia</STRONG>
