Yellow

Xanthophobia (from Greek xanthόs, "yellow") is fear of the color yellow. The common cause of this phobia is unhappy experiences involving the color yellow, like getting stung by a bee or even getting hit by a yellow car or school bus. In consequence, yellow reminds xanthophobes about pain and in the unconscious level reminds them about the loss of life. When xanthophobes encounter something yellow (like daffodils, gold, and yellow pages), they may close their eyes or panic in anxiety, depending on the severity. For severe sufferers, seeing or hearing the word yellow can cause fright. Sufferers would not eat cheese, mustard, lemonade (unless it was pink or berry flavored), bananas, or yolk. Sufferers will avoid anything that is yellow.

In the Roblox game “Shovelware’s Brain Game”, the Announcer says that he has xanthophobia.
