My friend asked me the same Question while we were talking and it made me wonder. How will i describe a color to a person who can't see. Will my description fit or will the person be satisfied with my answer? I wonder How.

I don't think that colors are describable. They're like feelings, we can't explain nor demonstrate them. And he would never understand because he never had the experience. And these are subjective things.

In my opinion it was a so hard to explain to a person that can't see anything. maybe some medical specialist can do that but i wonder how to do it.
