How do you..

You can't explain it to them. It's the same with me, i'm red/green colourblind so i have no perception at all of what those two colours might be like. It's like trying to explain all the colours that flys see (they see hundreds of more clours than we do)

Say a person had been blind or colourblind and they suddenly get perfect vision they will still not be able to see any of these colours. They have no perception of these things and so they're brain would not recognise them. Only people who have gone blind and through special techniques are able to see again.

I imagine you would need to write it down.

My friend asked a blind guy at school and he said he liked burnt umber.

Isn't there a theory that no one sees the exact same colours and we only know which colour is which because we've been taught it since forever? That would make sense seeing as colour is nothing more than what we're told it is, an arbitrary noun. You couldn't explain colour using concepts like heat, we only know those because we know the association and make it automatically. If you've never seen the colour red you wouldn't be able to associate it with heat.

Well, people think i just see black and white but that's not true. My brain 'simulates' a colour and i see some colour there but i just don't know what.

Also, if i know something is red i will remeber it is red for basically the rest of my life ad same with green.

Very odd, so imagine. I see grass, i know it's green so i see it as my perception of green forever. However, i see something that is green but i don't know it's green so it changes colour every time i look at it until somebody tells me what colour it actually is.


Tbh you have to be colourblind to undertshand it

I was just about to post something similar, if somebody has never seen before they'll think hot as a painful thing... eg, they touch hot water... but they won't know fire is red, which you'd associate to hot... they wouldn't.

So it's impossible, I'd say.

There deaf, they cant hear you
