In my opinion, black is the easiest colour to describe to a blind person. Ask the person what they see? When they answer nothing, that is the colour of black. Dark, unseeable. Or at least that is how I would describe it.

∙ 16y agoI give kudos to whoever can answer this question. It's a tough one! It kind of reminds me of the book "The Giver" (by Lois Lowry)and when the Giver tries to describe color to Jonas. The only way you can describe blue (a cool color) to the blind is by giving them something warm to hold and let them feel it for 10 seconds, and then give them something cool (not cold) to hold. You'd be amazed how they can relate to that. I have seen this done and the teacher doing it took something hot and put it in the blind person's hand (and said that's red!) and then put ice in their hands and said "that cold colors and snow." The person could relate to a point. Blind people will never truly know the colors we do, but they can imagine by touch. Blind people are more sensitive to emotions than those that can see, with blue being described as peaceful or relaxing as the ocean.

∙ 11y agoMost blind people are satisfied if you just name the color. You can't describe them because color must be seen. However, the blind people that I know do enjoy hearing that something is "red" or "white" or whatever color, because that helps them classify things.
