Which colour would you prefer - Red or Blue? Why? Do these colours inspire you? If so, what do they remind you of?

Please let me know. I would be very interested.

Have a nice day

@Rhys Arnold,
I'm usually drawn to red as opposed to blue when it comes to clothes.
In flowers, I like blue, white or yellow moreso than red though.
On walls, I like red and certain shades of blue about equally.

Red feels warm to me - blue feels open and spacious to me.

Blue makes me think of the sea and sky and red makes me think of the sun.

Hi Rhys,
How would you describe a colour to a blind man who has never seen?
Best wishes.

Red = action

Blue = inaction

As for my preference. It depends on my state of mind.

@mark noble,
Hi Mark,

I would have so they associate the colors with things they can touch, taste, smell, hear... all the other senses they have. Example...
Blue = ice
White = cotton
Pink = sticky cotton candy
Red = Rose
Green = Grass
Yellow = The heat of the sun or simply the sun

A person just needs to use their imagination to come up with things to describe colors to those who cannot see them. What they can do is hear, smell, taste, and touch things in ways people who can see can never imagine.

Have a great day
Rhys

Hi Rhys,
How, exactly, will this allow a blind man to perceive 'Colour'? Telling them that 'ice' is 'blue' and making them touch it cannot evoke a visual reference to something that is inconceivable.
Did you take Jordan up on his offer?
I don't know how to tell if you, or any of us are active, at any given time - Do you?
Be brilliant, my friend.

@mark noble,
Hi Mark,

I guess that blind people would have to use their imagination. Temperature would be a good way to associate a word to a colour. Yes, they are blind and describing a colour is virtually impossible. Beethoven once said:

"You can't describe color to a blind person because color is essentially how your eyes differentiate light that enters your eyes and gets transmitted as an image to your brain, if there has been a problem that had hindered this ability since birth the child will never be able to distinguish color unless by some miracle they gain sight in the future."

Have a great day
Rhys
