Cyanophobia

Fear of the Color Blue

check- no cyanophobes in my life-- most of my wardrobe is blue and I don't want to cause someone's death with my clothes.
I wonder how these people fare when outdoors under the sky? It's actually kinda sad if you think about it.

Coulrophobia - The fear of clowns.

became a coulrophobe after watching IT --- i think i've outgrown that

Some of those phobias relate to colors being the most terrifying thing imaginable… for those poor people, this color loving website would probably be hell-incarnate.  Here are several color phobias and some of color associations with common and strange phobias.</P></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>Chromatophobia - The fear of colors.</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/"><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>
