If it was someone who had previously had sight, easy.

If it was someone born blind, you could word it like this, "Imagine the thing that you are feeling in front of you absorbs certain kinds of light, - you've probably noticed light if you were in a bright place and the darkness you see lessens - if it absorbs all kinds of light, it appears blank, if it doesnt, it appears as darkness, of which you probably see. depending on the kinds of light it absorbs, it can become more or less blank without being only blank and black. It could seem like it is getting bigger, and having less detail, this is when it gets fuzzy." Like it?

Are Australian wild pigs color blind?

Feral pigs (like all pigs) have dichromatic vision. Their eyes have cones sensitive to wavelengths in the blue-green portion of the spectrum, but it is unclear whether this translates to color perception in the way we humans understand it. They do not seem to perceive contrast the same way that we do (although they DO perceive it) and only have depth perception within 15 degrees of either side of the snout. They have very sensitive peripheral vision that is particularly good at detecting lateral motion.

From a practical standpoint, this means that you are essentially invisible to a feral pig if you are wearing clothing of the same tonal value (regardless of color) as your surroundings and do not move laterally relative to the pig's head.

Why can't we see color in our peripheral vision?

-Peripheral areas of the retina contain very few, if any, retinal cones. Those areas contain only rods, which cannot distinguish color.

How do you get the disease of color blindness?

You do not get color blindness, you are either born with it or not born with it. It is on the X chromosome. A male has one X chromosome. A woman has 2 X chromosomes. If one X chromosome does not have red-green capability and the man has that chromosome, then he is color blind. A woman can have one color blind chromosome and one non-color blind chromosome and she will not be color blind. The ability to see blue and yellow is on chromosome number 7. Everyone has two of those. A man can only have 3 color chromosomes. Women can have 4 color chromosomes. Since the chromosomes can be slightly different, women can frequently see far more color variations than men can see.

Can bulls see red?

No, bulls cannot see red. Since bulls are cattle, they only have two receptors, not three like us humans have. These two receptors are blue and yellow. Humans have red, blue and yellow receptors, and thus are able to see in full spectrum. Cattle cannot. Yellow-green and bluish-purple hues are the main hues that cattle are most attuned to.
