Colour concepts for blind persons

If a blind man wants help in understanding what ‘colour’ is then perhaps one day in the future people will use my handy cut-out-and-keep instructions below.

If he asks what the colour green is then you hand him some hedge leaves or grass cuttings, or maybe squirt some Harpic pine fresh detergant in his face and tell him “that is what the colour green is”

Take him to a fountain and let him sip from its cool waters and when it is winter and the brisk chilled wind blows in his hair tell him “blue my friend, the sensations you have just had are the colour blue”

yellow and red are harder ones to figure out perhaps you can come up with some ideas of your own cos all I can think of for yellow is baby sh*t and I guess if you wanted to show him red you would have to set his hair on fire.
:rolleyes:

Isn’t sunlight yellow? Like sitting in a nice warm sunbeam?

Red is hot chiles, or hot cinnamon.

There is a marvelous book of poems about colors ** Hailstones and Halibut Bones **. The author Mary O’Neill says that the best tribute she received was having it printed in Braille.
