What colors do you associate with anxiety and fear?

The reason I'm asking this is because I'm trying to create an artwork that convey these emotions.

Anxiety is red fear is purple for me
Grey, dark purple, blood red and navy
Purple and grey, i more associate textures with anxiety and fear. Like really sketchy and frantic hatching and crosshatching, linework that looks frantic and like you were anxious doing it
Neon yellow for some reason 👀
Once I did a group painting with others about Anxiety and Yellow is the perfect color for it. Purple-ish grey is a good color for fear 😁👍🏽👍🏽
Bright red, black and neon yellow/blue
A very deep purple
Yellow and black/night sky dark blue
Purple and red
Dark blue
Dont want to associate any color with anxiety 😥
Deep and light greyish purple blue and yellow with some black and grey
Green and yellow. Grey too
Purpleish blue
I usually see people use vibrant red (sometimes pink) with another cold color (like blue or green) or black.
I think a combination of a high saturated color and black, saturated colors can show intensity and the black color shows how deep the emotions are. But this is just my opinion, i think it depends on how you interpret colors.
red and blue. Very vibrant shades of red and blue
Sickly yellow with drop of lime green. It's an alerted color, kinda like bad spiky aura around things. At least thats my first idea
Black
