how can you identify color if you are blind?

Answer 1

If a person has always been blind (from birth), totally blind, not legally blind ... they would not have seen light and so the question of seeing or identifying a color doesn't arise.

If a person was visually normal earlier and now is handicapped, probably the colors can be tranformed to sounds (different tones to represent different colors) and thus he can mentally reconstruct the image to some extent. I am not sure how far this will be satisfactory.

Answer 2

I volunteer with the blind, and one woman I regularly work with said she uses words to associate to colours. For example, she will say she can imagine the colour red through words such as hot. I assume she has was sighted previously although I am not sure and she may have ideas of colours through experiances of people explaining them to her.

Maybe you should ask a blind person, they are usually willing to tlak about it. I agree with the person who answered before me though, if they have not seen light they probably cannot identify colour and so use sensations.

Hope this helps.

when you are blind you can't see nothing unless they use a Braille to fill how to spell the word or unless they use a scented color so that the blind people could figure out which color is which

by feeling it
