How would you explain the color RED to a blind person?

Question

If this blind person had never seen anything in his/her entire life, how would you explain the color RED?

Answer 1

Just ask them to think about the angriest they've ever felt and it would be the color of anger.

Answer 2

Tell them the emotions you can feel from it.

-Angry, passion, strength, energy, fire, love, respect.

Answer 3

As a person with dichromatic (red-green colorblind) vision, I can speak from experience that there's no way to describe a color quantitatively to someone who can't perceive it.

Qualitatively however, you could desribe red in terms of audible pitch as a low warm sound in contrast, say, to the fairly arresting blast of sound which would be representive of day-glo orange.

Answer 4

akshly for a blind person, its really hard to do so. but i think if u just tried to put him/her in such a situation that is make him/her feel angry, feel heat, ummmm, shy, these feelings make help u descibe sth , but from personal xperience u cant, at least this person must have seen sth though his/her life.

Answer 5

You can't.

Answer 6
