How do you Explain Color to a Blind Person?


Explaining through words may be rough

But expressing color through emotions may not be tough.

The conception of color may vary,

To a blind person with such mass of imaginary.

 

Possibility of explaining color are endless

Just like the colored ribbons created for public awareness.

But those who cannot see,

Have the exception of the sight of various beauty.

 

Red is the color of fire and the passion of blood,

Blue is like the color of water in a wave of flood.

Green is spring like and leafy like the grass

Orange is the sensation of an orange or tangerine you’ll never pass.

 

Yellow is like the warmth of sunlight,

Just like milk is the fluid of white.

Gray is like the smell of rain and asphalt,

Like darkness is color black like any fault.

 

Describing color depends on what thing you describe,

But not going to lie it isn’t that hard to give the vibe.

There’s no right or wrong on explaining color to one who cannot see,

Over with a cup of tea.
