I've been stuck on this for a few hours now and I'm still coming up empty. The question is... How would you explain the concept of color to someone who is blind?
I remember this one movie where a guy falls for a blind girl and tries to describe colors to her... there was this one scene...
He grabbed some ice and put it in her hands, explaining blue as the color of cold and snow...
Then he took something hot (I think it was just a warm piece of food) to show her how red represents heat, warmth, love, and all that...
Maybe it helps, but honestly, that part of the film was beautiful.👍
