of a color? There is actually a phobia named Xanthophobia. It is the fear of the color yellow. It develops in the unconscious mind and is triggered by some trauma in the patient's past that involved yellow or the word "yellow". Can you imagine being afraid of the golden arches at McD's or dandelions in the grass?

Yes. And so sad to have that color taken away due to some past trauma.

What I think is sad is the reason they became this way to begin with.
