How would you describe the colors of the rainbow to a blind person?

This person has been completely blind since birth and has therefore never seen a thing.



The colors of the rainbow, for those that are unsure, are:

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
 
Good one Jazzy.

But the article is right, you have to relate the colors to emotions that one would feel. For example, red for anger.
 
Interesting topic.. Ive described the color red to a blind person before. I told him that when he starts right at the sun or the a bright light, that color is red. When its dark that color is black.



He said he can tell the difference between brightness and darkness.

Is that because of the temperature difference or does he see shadows or what?

He says he can see brightness and darkness. I assume if you close your eyes and try to look at the sun or at a bright light, you will see a red color. Try it out.. Close your eyes and get really close to a light bulb.
