If so, how is that possible?

People who have been blind since birth, substitute the colours that we see, with something that they can perceive. And it is entirely individual. They may have been told that their teddy bear is brown, so they associate "brown" with "soft & fuzzy". Or, they may have been told that the stove element is red when it is hot, so they associate "red" with hot. But it entirely depends on the person, and what connections they have made through their lives. Someone might have said that sad music makes me blue, so "blue" would be associated with sad music...see?

No, it could not possibly be true. That which we call colour is simply the reflection of light waves as they are detected by the system which occurs in our eyes (the "receptor cones").
Colour has no physical presence. It isn't like heat waves that can be felt from a distance. They radiate outwards.
