ANTO, 23, from New York lives a colourless life. He wears, uses, and surrounds himself only with monochrome items. "I refuse to wear any colour. I have chromophobia, which is an aversion to colours anywhere," he explained. "I live a completely colourless lifestyle due to this condition. I don't wear any colourful clothing, buy any colourful items, and I've turned it into somewhat of my aesthetic." Online, he's amassed over 10 million views showing his black, white and grey closet and bedroom. His unique palette has garnered some negative comments, including, "This is my worst nightmare," "I wouldn't wish that to my worst enemy," and "Asylum core." In this episode of Hooked on the Look, Anto visits his friend Tiffany's closet, where she finally persuades him to wear a pop of colour.

00:00My whole life is monochrome.
00:01I live a colorless life.
00:03I refuse to wear any color.
00:05I have chromophobia, which is an aversion to colors.
00:07You are not going to believe the links that I go to.
00:09People don't really understand the condition,
00:12and people definitely don't understand the aesthetic.
00:14Somebody put, new aesthetic just dropped AsylumCore.
00:17That makes my skin crawl.
00:18This is my worst nightmare,
00:19and I wouldn't wish that to my worst enemy.
00:21I'm going to be seeing my friend Tiffany,
00:23and she's going to be styling me in some colorful clothes
00:25for the very first time.
00:26I'm about to have a panic attack.
00:28Oh my god.
00:29Okay guys, so I'm currently in one of my favorite places
00:32to buy clothes, but it can definitely be overstimulating.
00:36Everything is a crazy print.
00:38Chromophobia is a fear or a diversion to color.
00:41So for me, I live a completely colorless lifestyle
00:44due to this condition.
00:45I don't wear any colorful clothing,
00:47buy any colorful items,
00:48and I've turned it into somewhat of my aesthetic.
00:51I hate how many shoes are colorful nowadays.
00:54I cannot get over the colors.
00:56I actually can't remember the last time
00:58that I wore anything colorful.
01:00I feel like for years and years,
01:02I've always worn black,
01:03and then I branched out into white and gray
01:05and made monochrome my aesthetic.
01:08I think it's almost like when I'm in an environment
01:11where everything is black, white, and gray.
01:13I feel like I can see clearer.
01:15This is my room, everybody.
01:18Welcome.
01:18Welcome to the Anto Sanctuary.
01:20As you could see, it is completely colorless.
01:24Everything that I pick and choose to be in my home,
01:26I put a lot of thought into.
01:28People online always have a lot to say.
01:31People don't really understand the condition,
01:33and people definitely don't understand the aesthetic as well.
01:37There's definitely some comments where I have never really understood
01:40why people got so angry.
01:42Somebody put,
01:43this is my worst nightmare,
01:44and I wouldn't wish that to my worst enemy,
01:46which I think is so harsh,
01:47but it's okay.
01:48It's okay.
01:49Haters gonna hate.
01:50Somebody put,
01:50new aesthetic just drop,
01:52asylum court,
01:52which I think is so funny because I definitely see the resemblance
01:56between an asylum and my room.
01:57Weirdly, this makes me uncomfortable.
01:59There's like grayness to the room that makes my skin crawl,
02:02which is so funny because I feel like my skin crawls in super colorful rooms.
02:06Ooh, baby, this is my worst fear.
02:09I have not met anyone with a fear of black and white though.
02:13So,
02:15somebody put,
02:15are chips banned in your room?
02:16Because once filling,
02:17everything is getting stained.
02:18I don't allow any food in my room at any time.
02:21I have never really been affected by the hate
02:24because I know who I am and what makes me happy,
02:27and I let other people do what makes them happy without judging them.
02:30Um, online at least.
02:33So,
02:33hate does not bother me.
02:34It just gives me more views.
02:36Most of the comments say that they actually love color,
02:39but when they saw this,
02:40they completely understood my vision,
02:41which I really, really appreciate.
02:43Somebody put,
02:44guarantee he's a Virgo.
02:45You are correct.
02:46I feel like the room gives Virgo vibes.
02:48Everyone always wants to see what's inside my closet.
02:51Let's see what's inside.
02:53So,
02:53as you could see,
02:54I keep all of my black clothing on top and all of the white on the bottom.
02:58I do have this new addition where it's in the middle and it's my gray clothing.
03:01I think the thing that I love most about my look is how interchangeable some of my pieces are.
03:07Like, so many different things go with one another,
03:09whereas I feel like when color is involved, it has to be appropriately set.
03:14I love this brand so much.
03:16That's the back.
03:16This is the front.
03:18This is just Anto in a shirt.
03:20You guys get it, right?
03:21You get it.
03:22I also want to show you guys how crazy of a collection of sunglasses I have.
03:26I try to get ones that nobody else has,
03:28and I think I definitely achieved that if you look at some of my photos.
03:32It's really important that my skincare routine is also colorless,
03:36just because this is something that I do so often,
03:38and I spend a lot of time looking at myself in the mirror,
03:41so I really want to have products that align with my aesthetic and my identity.
03:45There's been so many products where I actually really wanted them,
03:49but because of the packaging and how it made me feel,
03:51I decided to not go with the purchasing of it.
03:56I'm seeing my friend Tiffany.
03:58She is super colorful, and she wants to style me.
04:01Hi, Tiff.
04:02Thank you for having me.
04:04Welcome, welcome. Come in.
04:05I haven't seen you in so long, Huggy.
04:07What do you think about my choice to live a colorless life?
04:11I think it's a little too extreme.
04:13I feel like you need a little bit of color,
04:15but other than that, I think black and white is chic.
04:18Exactly. You heard it here first.
04:20I like really weird fashion.
04:22Yeah.
04:22I like loud stuff.
04:24Right, right, right.
04:24I like stuff with personality.
04:26Yeah.
04:27For some people, it's hacky.
04:28And today, we're going to show you the viewer, her closet,
04:31and we're actually going to try to put me in something from the closet,
04:34and I can't wait for you guys to see because it's pretty extreme
04:38and super colorful, and I'm so not used to that.
04:41Okay.
04:42Welcome to my closet.
04:47OMG, Tiff.
04:50This is the rainbow, guys.
04:53This is crazy.
04:55I'm about to have a panic attack.
04:57This is crazy.
04:59I know.
05:00Everything is fully organized by color.
05:03Yeah, I can see that.
05:04By rainbow.
05:04Mm-mm.
05:05Mm-mm.
05:06Mm-mm.
05:06Mm-mm.
05:09Okay, what are we thinking we're going to put me in today?
05:12I am so scared, you guys.
05:14I'm feeling a little bit better now that I saw this section.
05:16Not gonna lie.
05:17Not gonna lie.
05:18Oh, my God.
05:20Oh, my God.
05:21Put that back, please.
05:23I would never wear this.
05:25Uh, step away from the block.
05:27I just want to see.
05:28I just want to see.
05:29No, no, no.
05:29This is your section right here.
05:32No, don't.
05:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
05:35Okay.
05:36No, put that back.
05:37Put that back.
05:39What am I looking at?
05:42Okay, go try them on.
05:45Okay.
05:45I love colors.
05:46I feel like a little pop of color makes you really interesting.
05:50So, I feel like Ansel should definitely try it.
05:53I feel like he looks great in colors.
05:55Not all of them, but he should do it.
05:59So, what do you think?
06:02I have never been put in anything like this in my life, you guys.
06:06This is so crazy.
06:08I kind of feel cool, though.
06:09I'm like, I do have goosebumps.
06:11I'm not gonna lie.
06:13All right, guys.
06:13Look here for it, too.
06:15It's like a little skater boy.
06:17I really like this fit.
06:18Red is actually one of the colors that I can sort of kind of tolerate.
06:22So, I think I like this one.
06:24I call this one Green Goblin.
06:27Definitely feel like a goblin.
06:29I'm feeling really uncomfortable now.
06:32It's good.
06:33It's giving 90s.
06:35Whatever.
06:37It's giving...
06:38He's a model.
06:39I don't even know what to do with my hands.
06:40I'm like, I'm seeing green.
06:42So, it's like...
06:43And now we're twinning.
06:44I'm twinning with my girl.
06:46Literally.
06:46So, twinning.
06:49Let me know which look was your favorite, if any.
06:52And also comment if you think I should start wearing color.
06:55I don't know, you guys.
06:57This might just be the wave.
06:58It's growing on you.
07:02So, I just left Tiffany's and I honestly really loved experimenting with the color.
07:07Obviously, it's not something that I would have ever done on my own.
07:10So, thank you Tiff.
07:11I had such an amazing time.
07:13I think that for a long time my friends thought I was joking and so did my mom until they
07:17really saw how serious chromophobia is.
07:19They definitely still make jokes from time to time, but I'm always the best dressed in any room I go
07:24to even without color.
07:25So, I feel like Tiff has definitely inspired me to maybe step out of my comfort zone a little bit
07:30as well.
07:31I think maybe I might try to implement some color, but only slowly, only on a special occasion.
07:37I definitely think that the red was my favorite.
07:40So, maybe I'll go and buy something red for myself.
07:55I just find the blue that's fine.
07:57You alreadythought my dessert till the red one?
08:00And I'm closing the red that……
08:00I don't think i wanted to bend my funz check, I guess.
08:00Yeah.
