Tell them it tastes like chicken. That should do it.

turn on the toaster and help them run their hand back and forth through the heat that rises. that might be a good way to explain red.
i am being serious. i watched a movie where someone was trying to teach a blind person about color and they did this using small flames.

I think red could be explained using heat of some kind. If the person who cannot see has a high temperature, you could explain that he is red in the face. Warmth=red. Similarly, you could use water to explain blue. Cold=blue.

you likely would have to teach them numbers first and use a number for colours.It's just a thought My brother is blind but not from birth so we never experienced this issue.All I know is it doesn't have to be a dull world for them.There is so much out there for the blind today.Good luck I can only imagine how it would be with my eyes shut for minutes.I was born with my eyes shut for 3 weeks .but i now have a 20/20 vision.

u cant explain red to a born blind person but every colour in its liquid form has a texture and with time and instincts and practice a blind person can feel and identify them based on their texture.

I'm not sure if this is a real question or not but here goes:
It's impossible! This is the archetypal question to show that some experiences can't be explained. You can't describe sweet and you can't describe red to someone who has never experienced them.

Hot or danger. Give an opposite. To me blue would be the opposite of red. Blue means cool (as in cold temp) and peace. The opposite of that would be red, hot, danger, warning, etc.

the colour that flashes on your concepts once you carry a heat cup of warm chocolate, or sense sunlight rays beaming down on your face interior the summertime or once you're sitting around a campfire and can sense the warmth waves.

I don't think you can. Having never seen anything red or any other color I would doubt that what you describe will be how they envision it in their mind.

have them hold something warm to explain pink and then have them increase the temp in their mind to explain red

Give them something spicy hot to taste and use that as the colour's equivalent.
