Xanthophobia

 Xanthophobia is the fear of the color yellow. Xanthophobia is derived from the Greek word “xantho”, meaning yellow, and “phobos,” which means fear. Like other fears and phobias, it can cause panic, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nausea. The common cause of this phobia is traumatic experiences involving the color yellow, like getting stung by a bee or perhaps getting hit by a yellow car. Sufferers of xanthophobia fear anything yellow, including bananas, lemons, mustard, the sun, or even just the word yellow.
