Family guy, Right?

Peter had a card trick show for the blinds

I have them feel my hair, not my wrath ...

Red may feel like when one is embarresed or very angry.



How Do You Describe Color To A Blind Man?

To describe colors to the blind is not any easy task. Rather than using words to paint things they can't see and thus won't be able to understand, let's us play on their senses. Other than sight, they could smell, taste, hear and feel like ordinary human beings.

Describing color to a blind person would indeed be difficult. They have no sense of what color is and so to help them understand you would need to be able to relate color to something that they could feel physically with their hands or on their skin. Even when we close our eyes, we can still see the shift of light around us...so how would you describe light to some one who is blind. I am going to attempt to give the idea of color to a blind person.

red: pain-anger-shock-searing hot
blue: soft-soothing-smooth
green: the tickle of grass under your feet-strong like a tree full of leaves
yellow: warmth like the sun on your face
white: tasting like sugar on your tongue-feeling like a tear drop from your eye
black: not able to see through-like being blind
brown: the smell of coffee brewing in the morning-the feeling of mud in your hands
orange: the zesty smell of a peeled orange-pumpkin seeds baked and salted
pink: fluffy-sweet-gentle-cuddly
purple: the taste of grape or plum-the feel of velvet
gold & silver: hard like the feel of metal
gray: much like a rock you hold in your hand-gritty like dirt-the color of clouds pouring rain.

How does a blind person describe the color "blind" to a person who is not blind?

tell them that it comes from the rainbow. That should clarify things.

My way of describing

Red - Hot, passionate, active, angry
Blue - the ocean, emotions, cleansing, learning
Green - Fruitfulness, productivity, richness of land
Yellow - Happy, bright, uplifting, light
White - Cold, vulnerable, open
Black - Safe, solitude, dark, hidden
Brown - Of the earth, secure, natural
Orange - Bright, fun, warm
Pink - Unconditional love, femininity, warmth
Purple - Individuality, passionate, fun, quirky
Gold - Regal, luxurious, expensive
Silver - Shiny, pretty, reflective
Gray - Control, balance, strength



I used to read ribbons for ppl, i used my basic feelings of the colors.

Place his hand on your breast.

He still might not know what "red" is, but he will be much happier, I'm sure.

Red.....the taste of chili....

red...the sound of the crackle of fire....

red....the taste of the deep long kiss..

red...the smell of the summer rose

red...the feel of velvet against the cheek.




Red to the blind...

This is interesting. I never really thought about it before. Comparing colors to emotions and sounds. I've never known any one that was blind..............

Anybody seen that movie with Val Kilmer (can't remember the name of it) where he has surgery and becomes a seeing person after being blind his whole life? Turns out that it was all too overwhelming for him. Very interesting take on things.

I haven't seen that movie but I thought about that. I had a grandmother that was deaf for years. She had surgery and she couldn't stand it. She had it reversed so she would be deaf again..

I am in awe of you and your question

Billy...

why would someone who is blind want to know what red looked like?

instead i would tell them what something that was red looked like.

thats how we all learned what red was.

i would describe a rose. a stop sign. blood. the coca cola symbol. target

things like that

Well i think its possible to feel color, and theres nothing wrong with stimulating the imagination of a blind person.

yea, that was a great movie...very interesting take on it, kind of a sad movie.
