Symptoms and treatment Causes and effects The symptoms of effects of fear of color vary This phobia is caused by post traumatic stress from individual to individual depending on CHROMOFOBIA disorder experiences involving colors in the the level of the fear.

Cyanophobic sufferers may panic often because it is difficult for sufferers to avoid encountering things that are blue with their eyes since blue is commonly seen in reality, e.g. water, sky. To avoid panic, sufferers may want to wear red- or orange-tinted glasses. Cyanophobic sufferers would not own anything blue, like jeans. Extreme sufferers may panic so violently that it would draw blood. Erythrophobia – fear of red (from Greek erythros, “red”) (also known as erytophobia or ereuthophobia) is fear of the color red. This color phobia is common because red is the symbolic color of danger, bad, or embarrassment. It is also the fear of blushing, due to embarrassment. Suffers of erythrophobia may also suffer from hemophobia since red is the color of blood. They would avoid using red pen, crayon, marker, paint or even would avoid a red car or red clothes. They may also avoid eating red-colored foods, like cherries, strawberries, tomatoes, and ketchup. While driving, sufferers may fear the stop signs or red light. Xanthophobia – fear of yellow (from Greek xanthos, “yellow”) is fear of the color yellow. In China the color yellow was feared, specifically receiving the yellow scarf, which was an imperial order to commit suicide. The common cause of this phobia is traumatic 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 immediately close their eyes or panic in anxiety, depending on the severity. For severe sufferers, even seeing or hearing the word yellow can cause fright. Sufferers would not eat cheese, mustard, lemonade, bananas, egg yolk, and anything that is yellow. They may also close their eyes and hold their breaths when urinating. Prasinophobia – fear of green (from the Greek word prasinos, meaning “green”, and phobos, “fear”), referred exclusively as chlorophobia (from the Greek word chloros, meaning “yellow-green”), is fear of the color green. This fear is often associated with the fear of vegetation (germinatophobia). The fear may come about due to traumatic experiences involving the color green or vegetation, like getting cut by a poison ivy or dealing with unwanted plants like algae in the swimming pool, weeds or vines. Prasinophobic sufferers would avoid seeing or encountering grass, trees, and other things that are green. They would avoid eating green- colored foods like peas, pickles, asparagus, broccoli, and lettuce. Very severe sufferers of prasinophobia may force someone to kill all the vegetation around their lawn by killing grass using weedkiller, chopping down trees, and pulling up bushes. Prasinophobics would want to stay home at all times. Sufferers would not celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as well as not having green-colored items like green clothing. They would not have Christmas trees, wreaths, and other green-colored decorations up during the holiday season. Prasinophobia is often treated using exposure therapy, which involves patients to repeatedly look at the color green under the guidance of a therapist until s/he don’t get scared by it. This therapy starts with a tiny green dot then slowly working the way up until much of the scenery is filled in green such as the room with green walls. Prasinophobia can further be treated using behavioral therapy which removes the fear from one’s mind. Kastanophobia – fear of brown (from Greek kastanos, meaning brown) is fear of the color brown. This is a common color fear as some of the representations of brown includes disgusts. This fear has a variety of triggers, like getting injured by black people, being attacked by a brown-furred animal, or even by simply seeing and/or smelling their own feces. Because brown is an abundant color, sufferers would be difficult to avoid seeing brown, but sufferers may not panic when seeing pleasant things like wood but would panic when excreting feces or walking on mud. Mild sufferers would simply avoid consuming brown-colored cuisines like coffee, chocolate, meat, beans, etc. Porphyrophobia – fear of purple (from Greek porphyros, “purple”) is fear of the color purple. Like all other phobias, including all of color phobias, the original cause of porphyrophobia traces back to a traumatic experience involving the color purple in the past. Even though purple is the symbolic color of royalty, people can suffer from purple phobia quite readily due to a traumatic encounter that is not a very common color around. For example, sweet potatoes, getting hit by a rare purple car, resulting in

ID 97849); published December 24, 2008 We studied changes in the color appearance of a chromatic stimulus as it underwent simultaneous contrast with a more luminous surround. Three normal trichromats provided color-naming descriptions for a 10 cd/m2 monochromatic field while a broadband white annulus surround ranged in luminance from 0.2 cd/m2 to 200 cd/m2. Descriptions of the chromatic field included Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, White, and Black or their combinations. The naming frequencies for each color/surround were used to calculate measures of similarity among the stimuli. Multidimensional scaling analysis of these subjective similarities resulted in a four-dimensional color space with two chromatic axes, red–green and blue–yellow, and two achromatic axes, revealing separate qualities of blackness/lightness and saturation. Contrast-induced darkening of the chro- matic field was found to be accompanied by shifts in both hue and saturation. Hue shifts were similar to the Bezold–Brücke shift; shifts in saturation were also quantified.

  • Tyrian Purple: Its Evolution and Reinterpretation As Social Status Symbol During the Roman Empire in the West
    Tyrian Purple: Its Evolution and Reinterpretation as Social Status Symbol during the Roman Empire in the West Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow and Andrew J. Koh, Advisors In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies by Mary Pons May 2016 Acknowledgments This paper truly would not have come to be without the inspiration provided by Professor Andrew Koh’s Art and Chemistry class. The curriculum for that class opened my mind to a new paradigmatic shift in my thinking, encouraging me to embrace the possibility of reinterpreting the archaeological record and the stories it contains through the lens of quantifiable scientific data. I know that I would never have had the courage to finish this project if it were not for the support of my advisor Professor Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow, who never rejected my ideas as outlandish and stayed with me as I wrote and rewrote draft after draft to meet her high standards of editorial excellence. I also owe a debt of gratitude to my parents, Gary and Debbie Pons, who provided the emotional support I needed to get through my bouts of insecurity. When everything I seemed to put on the page never seemed good enough or clear enough to explain my thought process, they often reminded me to relax, sleep, walk away from it for a while, and try again another day.

  • Color Vision Mechanisms
    11 COLOR VISION MECHANISMS Andrew Stockman Department of Visual Neuroscience UCL Institute of Opthalmology London, United KIngdom David H. Brainard Department of Psychology University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 11.1 GLOSSARY Achromatic mechanism. Hypothetical psychophysical mechanisms, sometimes equated with the luminance mechanism, which respond primarily to changes in intensity. Note that achromatic mech- anisms may have spectrally opponent inputs, in addition to their primary nonopponent inputs. Bezold-Brücke hue shift. The shift in the hue of a stimulus toward either the yellow or blue invariant hues with increasing intensity. Bipolar mechanism. A mechanism, the response of which has two mutually exclusive types of out- put that depend on the balance between its two opposing inputs. Its response is nulled when its two inputs are balanced. Brightness. A perceptual measure of the apparent intensity of lights. Distinct from luminance in the sense that lights that appear equally bright are not necessarily of equal luminance. Cardinal directions. Stimulus directions in a three-dimensional color space that silence two of the three “cardinal mechanisms.” These are the isolating directions for the L+M, L–M, and S–(L+M) mech- anisms. Note that the isolating directions do not necessarily correspond to mechanism directions. Cardinal mechanisms. The second-site bipolar L–M and S–(L+M) chromatic mechanisms and the L+M luminance mechanism. Chromatic discrimination. Discrimination of a chromatic target from another target or back- ground, typically measured at equiluminance. Chromatic mechanism. Hypothetical psychophysical mechanisms that respond to chromatic stimuli, that is, to stimuli modulated at equiluminance. Color appearance. Subjective appearance of the hue, brightness, and saturation of objects or lights.
