Did you know that there is a condition called Porphyrophobia which is the fear of the color purple? Yes, believe it or not, some people have a fear of this royal hue.

But not all colors received equal recognition in the phobia world. I only know of two other specific color fears…
Melanophobia – Fear of the color black
Leukophobia – Fear of the color white.
Of course there is the all encompassing chromophobia – Fear of colors.
Thank goodness the Doctor is IN! Have a seat and let us talk. There is no need to fear the color purple or any other hue.

I have this phobia and it is a secondary phobia in response to my primary phobia. It’s very strange but it’s something that will never change. It’s lesser than my primary so it’s more of a passionate hate than a fear but that’s exactly what a secondary phobia is.
so this is fear of me cause i am purple
Yes, purple guy, I think you are right. On the upside there are far more purple lovers porphyrophobics in the world.
I think it is weird that people fear me and my lifestyle I am a Porphyrophile
