you scare me, but i like you

I started working on ideas for my living room a few weeks ago and I'm having some good times with these fabric and paint ideas. (I'll share my board soon) I've realized though, that I have a color phobia. I'm usually down with all colors, and don't have any particular fear of using any of them...except for one.

Orange.

I've tried to use it a few times - in paint, fabric, accessories - and I almost always chicken out. Its sad. I'm thinking I might need therapy. 
This is my sole dip into the orange pool. Chicken.

I really like orange. And I find that I pin it a ton.

Is there a color you are scared to use but always seem drawn to?
