Evocation of visual stimuli.

You can show him visualisations (like in Microsoft media player)

Well they won't understand being rated optimistic.

I beat you to it I rated rainbow FIRST
[QUOTE=-TRASE-;20122935]The funny thing is that you don't know if they see blackness or something else.[/QUOTE]
It depends on the source of their blindness.
It's easy!
Black - #000000
Gray - #C0C0C0
White - #FFFFFF
Red - #FF0000
Green - #00FF00
Blue - #0000FF
Yellow - #FFFF00

I don't think that'd work...

Well I'd rather be color blind than blind.
This reminds me of those threads about if people saw colours differently, IE my blue is different from your blue, but we call them both blue.
:psyduck:
one time i did :cool:
You can explain all of the feelings generally associated with a color. That's pretty much it.
Im sure with science you can ingect colour into their brain or someshit. But I don't think it would be easy at all...

Lol I think you have spent to long on paint.
Even better, try explaining color to someone who's color blind and has colors mixed up. They will look at red but they really see green. How do they know what color is what?

With you, it wouldn't.

I am colour blind and I frankly don't give a crap.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;20122916]It'd be like trying to explain music to a deaf man :/[/QUOTE]
I don't think it's the same at all actually. I think explaining music is easy for someone who's deaf, because you can explain the waves ... like how Beethoven used the vibrations of the floor to compose music...
My teacher told me that science had actually succeeded in giving sight to someone who had been blind their whole life. Apparently, with enough training, they were able to recognise say, a fork, but they couldn't recognise say, a green fork. They simply couldn't understand the concept of sight.

I just googled ffffff.
You can explain music and sound to deaf people using the vibrations they make, but colour doesn't have any stimuli attached to it that can be picked up by humans, so I would believe it isn't possible.

Hex color codes?
Not originally from paint.
White feels like cotton, Red feels like fire, Green feels like grass, blue feels like pool water filled up with old man piss.
[QUOTE=FunkyHippo;20123463]White feels like cotton, Red feels like fire, Green feels like grass, blue feels like pool water filled up with old man piss.[/QUOTE]
Those are feelings.
You can imagine those colors because you associate those colors with those feelings.
He does not know color so he does not have a starting point. Therefore telling him about colors and their associated feelings mean nothing to him.
Telling him red feels like fire will make him thing everything that is hot is red, and everything that is red is hot. Which is untrue.
If they could see once, yes. If they were born blind or were blinded at a very young age and can't remember it, no.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;20122684]You won't have a problem explaining black to them.
Well, if you do count that as a colour.[/QUOTE]
Hey, you're not blind, maybe they actually see pink in their head :3:
A better question is, does your brain retain info on colors. Your eyes are "built" to see the spectrum of designated colors, maybe blind people see colors in their dreams.
[QUOTE=Lankist;20122914]Being blind isn't seeing black, it's seeing nothing.[/QUOTE]
Depends how you got blinded obviously.
i can see it now
blind guy: hey jim, will you describe red to me.
jim:hmm.. errm its red and its a couler ermmmm.
blind guy: thanks for the help son :sigh:
[QUOTE=Lankist;20122914]Being blind isn't seeing black, it's seeing nothing.
You can no more explain sight to a blind man than you can explain seeing nothing to a sighted one.[/QUOTE]
:psyboom:
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;20123575]Depends how you got blinded obviously.[/QUOTE]
Yes. This is what I said too.
Hmmm.
Aks them what they see now. When they say nothing, tell them that it's called black, and that it's a colour.
Oh wait, DESCRIBING a colur? Yeah, that's about as possible as teaching the body to live without breathing.
ohshi- I think i just started another thread ffffff
If you want a taste of being blind, get lasik surgery. When they cut into your eye you'll lose vision in it temporarily.
I'm pretty sure they take a laser and shave a bit of your eye, they don't cut into your eye with a scalpel or anything.
Also, I never knew it made you blind. Where does it say this?
