Chromophobia (also known as Chromatophobia) is the rare, persistent, irrational fear of colours. Some people who have this disorder will react strongly to certain shades or tones, while others will try to avoid colour altogether. Some signs and symptoms are: nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, feelings of panic, elevated heart rate and blood pressure, anxiety, light-headedness, headache, and trembling. Effective treatment involves methods and techniques that include systematic desensitization and exposure therapy.
