So about a year ago my brother told me a question and how it would be impossible to answer and I do agree. +1 to anyone who could ever answer this but heres the question.

How could you describe colours to a person who has never seen colours in their life? (Colour Blind all their life)

[Kyou]

You can't really, like of course you can describe what colors are and try to give them an idea but if they can not see them, their imagination is all they got and it's likely going to still be different than what you are telling them.

Yeah thats what I mean, it's pretty much impossible, tried Googling the question but there wasn't an answer to it as well. Just like what does a smell, smell like if you can't smell anything or what does something feel like if you can't feel anything.

Have you ever seen the movie about Rocky Dennis? He shows a blind girl how to see colours. He described them by having her touch things that resemble colours, a hot potato would be red, cold water is blue etc.

But then you gotta think, she still doesn't know the colours for hot and cold.

In the movie she can kind of visualise the colours I guess. I don't know I just wanted to try and answer the question lol.

I have seen the answer and i do see the point of view, just the fact we know its easy as we've been taught this but yeah, they've never seen a colour in their life so it would still be kinda impossible to see

Haha, maybe describe the colors to something that it relates to so red would be hot but u can't describe more then that.

well they have a serious problem if they never seen colors for the rest of there lifes, Color Blind is just switching colors around not what most people think its Black and white

It's like that? I've seen in a book what it supposedly looks like for a person with colour blindness and it was all black and white but a bit different.
