How would you describe the colors, red, green, and yellow to someone who is blind?

Answer 1

maybe by touch. something red, feeling hot. something blue, feel somthing cold

Answer 2

I'm sure there are books on this - but when I think of red, I think HOT so I would get her near something that is hot - but keep her safe.... green is cool and reminds me of nature - mabey take her for a walk in the woods and hand her leaves - let her 'feel' the color.... and yellow - sunshine - warm, pleasant - not hot.

You also could tap into your own senses and close your eyes and try to 'feel' colors. Remember that a blind person develops senses that we don't have so they can feel things we can't feel.

Answer 3

The usual approach by linguists is to make comparisons to the other senses.

Red = hot, spicy, acrid, sharp, strident

Blue = cool, mellow, smooth

Yellow = warm, juicy, lemon.

There are no rules, since a blind person has no refrent. You cannot make him "see" a color. You can only indicate a feeling for the color. Close your eyes and make your own lists. Try describing other colors or even patterns. It can be fun.

Answer 4

Red: Burning heat, like holding your hand over a candle flame.

Green: Soft like velvety moss or a smooth cool leaf

Yellow: That pleasant warm sensation you get when you lay in the sun, the splash of citris you get when you bite into an orange

red is a hot color, green is like a soft piece of grass, yellow is a hot color, like the sun, and blue is the soft waters- by touch.........that was a great question, by the way. How did you think of it?
