The title is a clever inversion. We are familiar with chromophobia —the fear or corruption associated with color, a concept explored by David Batchelor, where Western philosophy often sees color as superficial, feminine, or deceptive. Stella Paul flips the script.
The book is divided into ten distinct chapters, each dedicated to a specific color or color family. This structure is particularly beneficial for those using a version of the text, as it allows for easy navigation and cross-referencing. -PDF- Chromaphilia- The Story of Color in Art
