Okay, so Sophie said that there really is no color. Well that got me thinking, if one is blind, how would they perceive color? Even if they are told what color is like, how do you think they would imagine colors look like? Do you think we (humans) are born with understanding of color? And then if what Sophie’s post says is true, that there really is no color, than do you think that that would mean that the world would be in black and white, or nothing at all? What do you think?

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you need to define "blind". Some blind people aren't all the way blind, they can see blends of color but no shapes. Others can only see faint hues of color, some are completely blind. Please clarify exactly what you are asking...
Sophie (or Sandra),
ReplyDeleteBy blind I mean totally blind. Like can't see anything.
Depends on whether or not they've been blind from birth
ReplyDeleteWell it wouldn't matter since if there were no colors, even if they had some capability of seeing faint hues, they wouldn't see it at all.
ReplyDeleteUnless you have actually seen something, you can never really know what it looks like until you see it. Have you ever had somebody describe something you've never heard of to you? When you actually see the object he/she was describing, it probably looks much different than you would have thought it did. One who has never seen color would never actually be able to know what color is.
