Introduction Chromophobia is also called synesthesia or chromoagnosia. This sensation is formed when the perception of colors or their shades is impaired.

What is chromophobia? In simple words, chromophobia is a deviation as a result of which a person ceases to normally perceive colors and their shades.

This means that on the physical plane the body, through a panic reaction, creates conditions to protect itself from the perceived danger, namely from its incentive to choose in favor of risk.
