> Am I crazy?
No. If I had your sensory sensitivity I’m sure I would react similarly.
> Am I unreasonable?
Yes. In good companies, products are not designed with the CTOs personal color preferences in mind. Yes, even when those preferences are diagnosably strong.
You have three solutions:
1) Fight. Be warned, I suspect you will both lose the battle and alienate coworkers in the process.
2) Leave.
3) Develop coping mechanisms.
You should obviously do 3, even if you also do 1 or 2.
My 2c: If I were you I would seek professional help. I have a relative who had sound and tactile sensitivity as a child and a therapist was very helpful. If this is causing you so much distress, why not try and improve your ability to manage? What do you have to lose?
