How will you describe the color blue to blind person?

In: Philosophy and Philosophers, Colors, Color Blindness [Edit categories]

Answer:

Describing blue to a blind person would be difficult unless they were not born blind. Having no knowledge of what colors look like, or objects for that matter, you could not pose the idea, "blue looks like the sky." or "blue is the color of the ocean." unless the blind person has seen the sky or ocean before.
...But maybe they could understand that blue is the color of raindrops that fall on your skin.
