Hi,
Let me also try answering this..
I would have him hold his hand against something very warm (stove, near a fire, etc.) and explain that red is a color that looks like that feels. Or feed him something spicy (hot peppers, cinnamon) and say that taste on your tongue is what red looks like. Or when you hear a siren from an ambulance, that sound is what red looks like.
This was the technique that Annie Sullivan used with Helen Keller that finally got through to her the relationship between words and meanings. It is also what Eric Stolz' character in Mask did to show Laura Dern (playing a blind girl) what clouds look like.
Hope this helps.

If I am the one being interviewed, I would probably answer this way:
Color is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if it is red, white, or blue since the person is blind since birth. Worse, you really cannot describe it.
A blind man cannot see nor distinguish what is red, what is blue, what is yellow, etc. You cannot even say the sky is blue (since the sky is not really blue). You cannot even say the sea is green because other people will say it is "deep blue" or even emerald. You cannot tell that chili is red because it is "hot" and imply that anything which is "hot" means red. The sun is hot but it is not necessarily red.
We, people who can see, disagree from one another. Each one of us have our own interpretation of things, even of colors. It depends on how we see things from our own perspective.
But you can let a blind person "see" much like opening a person's eye to what is the truth. You can give him a vision from which he can be inspired.
You cannot describe the color red to him but you can lead or guide him from the path of darkness to lightness. And what is light? It is a mixture of all colors. People like us who can see are mostly blind to what is essential. We take things literally (proofs of which are posted in this thread).
People see the color of a man's skin and make judgment. However, color is nothing to a visually impaired person but he can "see" something essential -- a man's character. This is more important and relevant.

Dear all,
I think, every color has a sensation. So if color gives a sensation, sensation can help in infering a color.
I shall tell- " If you come closer to fire and feel strongly, its heat, so that your skin gets a burning sensation, what picture you draw in your mind. Whatever you draw most often, the color red is something close to that.
(Here one should understand that colors are seen and understood by eyes, but even a blind has colors in the subconcious, as color is a part of psyche as well.)
Think about this, or even try this out. You shall find it correct.Or lets do some research on that guys. Lets learn something from whites. How long shall we live like typical indian middle class chaps with a great job, a duplex, a car and a wife with two sweet children????
Good Luck

Hi,
As a blind person is blessed with extraordinary senses and red stands for passion i.e. strong feeling towards anything can be described and rose can be described as a passionate flower so that he gets the imagination right and he can feel it as well
thanks
