Phobophobia – Fear of phobias
This fear seems a little circular to me. Are phobophobes afraid of the sheer volume and range of phobias? Hopefully, no phobophobes will be reading this list.

Barophobia – Fear of gravity
Much like the chromophobe, I'm not sure how the barophobe could survive in the world. Gravity is inescapable.

Chromophobia – Fear of colors
I can't imagine how a chromophobe would survive in the world. Color is everywhere.

Uranophobia or Ouranophobia – Fear of heaven
I've always thought that it's a generally accepted concept that heaven is a wonderful place that one strives to get to -- not something to be feared.

Scriptophobia – Fear of writing in public
Everyone knows about the fear of speaking in public. In fact, it ranks higher than the fear of death for most people. Scriptophobia must be its lesser-known counterpart, but I'm having a hard time imagining when this phobia would come into play, other than kids having to write on the blackboard in school or someone having to write a check.
