While driving, I started thinking about how a blind person might understand a color. Obviously, there isn't a way to say "green is, uh, green!" So, instead, I thought of how a color might feel. Yeah, strange, I know, but strange thoughts make my days of unemployment less dull.
Red is the burn of your skin after being out in the sun for too long, or the uncomfortable thump of your heart after leaning too far back on your chair and nearly falling over.
Orange is the taste of an orange (original, right?), or the tingle of the first autumn breeze.
Yellow is the taste of a banana, or the feeling of springtime sun on a cool day.
Green is bare feet in the grass in the summer, or shade on a summer's day.
Blue is cool water running over your feet on the shore.
Violet is the smell of flowers at first blossom, or the taste of blueberries.
Brown is cool dirt beneath your feet.
I'm guessing black is what most blind people would experience normally. Or maybe they're like Daredevil and have some odd sense of echolocation? Now that would be cool. Blind people, if you're reading this, please tell me. And maybe dress up in a red leather suit and fight crime.
