One of my favorite blog ever, Colour Lovers, has a very interesting entry: The Scariest Colors Imaginable, matching color palettes and phobias.
Man, I didn’t even suspected there were so many phobias around! Pick yours, the list is amazingly and unexpectedly creative:
- Chromatophobia: The fear of colors, and more specifically:
- Phodophobia: Fear of the Color Red
- Chrysophobia: Fear of the Color Orange
- Xanthophobia: Fear of the Color Yellow
- Chlorophobia: Fear of the Color Green
- Cyanophobia: Fear of the Color Blue
- Porphyrophobia: Fear of the Color Purple
- Leukoophobia: Fear of the Color White
- Melanophobia: Fear of the Color Black
- Coulrophobia: The fear of clowns
- Ablutophobia: The fear of washing or bathing
- Trypanophobia: The fear of needles
- Selachophobia: The fear of sharks
- Caligynephobia: The fear of beautiful women (ahah, what the..???)
- Somniphobia: The fear of sleeping
- Pediophobia: The Fear of dolls (ok, not too annoying)
This article on ColourLovers is, as usual, a stunning mix of creativity and research.
On to the subject of phobias, I found phobialist.com. I’m going to start to classify my friends now:)
