Xanthophobia
Fear of the Color Yellow
Xanthophobia, the fear of the color yellow, is indeed a recognized phobia, though not as common as some others. While the DSM-5-TR doesn't list it specifically, it falls under the broader category of "specific phobias," which encompass intense and irrational fears of particular objects or situations. Imagine a world where the sight of a beaufitul golden delicious apple becomes a terrifying experience, where the cheerful glow of a daffodil triggers a wave of panic. The innocent hue of yellow, once a symbol of joy, now casts a long, ominous shadow, turning everyday life into a constant game of chromatic avoidance.
