Text colour RGB.
I remember reading, when still of an impressionable age, a page of text sporting "meaningfully" coloured words in Michael Palin's Bert Fegg's Nasty book for boys and girls☆ which, I think, featured the titular Dr Fegg and his axe but I vividly recall red as in <span style='text-color: red; font-weight: bold; font-family: spatter-pattern;'>blood</span> was greatly in evidence.*
While not being at all squeamish in the matters of blood and gore, that experience induced a lifelong aversion to varicoloured text. Chromokeimenophobia?
