If you could feel red, it would be very hot.

I used to work with the blind when I was young. Here you go. Put something hot in his or her hand ( Not burning hot now ) and tell them this is the color red. The same for blue. Part ice in his hand and tell the person this is blue. The best way to explain color to the blind.

What does the word "red" mean to you? if you don't know, figuring that out first would help you explain it to the person who cant see it. blind people cant see, but they can feel, how does red make you feel??

I don't think I could do it. Someone who was totally blind since birth would have no concept of light. It would be like trying to explain algebra to a baby. Comparing colour with temperature makes sense to us because we perceive different colours as having temperatures, but to a blind person it would be misleading.

Do like what Eric Stolz did as Rocky Dennis in 'Mask'- warm a stone in hot water and carefully let the blind person touch it. Tell that this is red. And perhaps let them feel ice and tell them that is blue.
Who knows, maybe it really works!

I would explain red as heat. Explain that the color red looks like the feeling of the sun on your face.

Colour is a product of the wavelength of light much like tone is a product of the wavelength of Sound.
This analogy can be used to explain the concept.
It is useful to consider that warm colours such as red orange etc have larger wavelengths as do warm bass tones.
Colder colours blue etc have are high frequency low wavelengths just like high pitched tones of sound.
Idea: watch fantasia together and comment on the colours used to illustrate the sounds.
Hope this helps.

Only if the person was able to see and had reached an age where he understood what colors were before having gone blind.
