## This Morning turns black and white
Viewers saw screens turn black and white during Monday's show as ITV hosted a guest with chromophobia.
## Guest has rare colour phobia
Anto Shutigin, a 24-year-old from New York, has chromophobia and lives entirely in black and white.
## Phobia started in high school
Anto said his chromophobia began around 9th grade after OCD tendencies and living in New York's overstimulating environment.

> I've had OCD tendencies my whole life. I'd say that around 9th grade of high school was when this manifested the most.
## Why black and white helps
Anto believes black and white reduces overstimulation, allowing better focus and productivity in his environment.

> Black and white definitely has a level of sameness and consistency that can be less overwhelming. Rather than a room with a bunch of colours.
## Key takeaway

ITV's This Morning temporarily switched to black and white for Anto Shutigin, who has chromophobia, to help him cope with overstimulating city life.
