Nope. Believe it or not but just about anything can be a fear or an attraction for someone. And fear of leaving a room or building is a pretty common one. Agoraphobia is the fear of going outside. Or how about the Japanese phenomenon of Hikikomori?
Just because you don't know of them, doesn't mean they don't exist. A very logical way why someone could be afraid of yellow could be if someone was attacked by someone wearing a bright yellow shirt when they were a small child.
I was run down on my bike by a guy in a white car. For weeks afterward, I couldn't even walk past a white car - even if it was parked, with the engine off, and no one inside. There is no end to what can become a phobia.
Side note: diseases and medical conditions tend to be named in greek; body parts tend to be named in latin. Hence agoraphobia instead of egressophobia.
