"how can the sky and ice be the same color" wow never thought about how confusing that is to a blind person

[@VicariousReality7]

[@StylishBuffalo]

+VicariousReality7 lol ur pic is an eye XD

[@TheFithos]

+Naomi Gary What surprises me is that no one gave him a proper explanation... Water has no color (so ice has no color either), but it reflects light, so ocean seems to be blue.

[@Addam3000]

+TheFithos that wouldnt be a proper answer too because the concept of color is that of reflection of light. Thats why there are many illusions made with light, like making a red object looks like its yellow or white, you can search it. Another proof of that is how cameras work and how you can play with colors, when in reality you are working with light. I think that water by itself has no color, but all the chemicals and whatnot makes it look like its blue, like, the things mixed in it, kind of like when there are greenish pools, brownish rivers and some other specials ones like colorful rivers because of the metals in it(mycroscopic).

[@georgeszweden9497]

+Naomi Gary To a regular person also, but both would probably understand as much if they hear about waves and different length makes different color

[@thorr18BEM]

Giving eyes to infants or people who lost their sight will become a thing. However, someone like this who was born blind wouldn't have the brain function to use any eyes and is not young enough to have neuroplasticity.

[@SlyNine]

@@thorr18BEM This has actually been done iirc. You're correct, they don't quite work correctly, but they do work. They can kinda learn to function with them, tho it remains mostly a mess. Depth perception is never quite right, and making out objects is difficult. What we see is mostly symbolic representations of objects and is very different than the raw information from our eyes. Think of everything you see as symbols your brain creates for you with the information it has. That's why we see a lot of false positives. (I wonder if this would be a good way to explain sight to a blind person)

It is possible actually, you need to focus on either Red-green or yellow-blue. Focus one eye on something red, while the other is focused on something green. You might be able to combine the colors in your mind, and see a color known as an "impossible color". Try it.

[@CC.07]

Fun fact: pink isn’t supposed to exist. It’s a accident. Your eyes processes it between the red area and the green area so your brain basically makes up what we call pink.

@@CC.07 That's also true for purple.

[@miltongam5870]

@@CyricRO Then you're perceiving a so-called impossible color, such as pink or purple, but a different kind. Confusing the eyes doesn't create something new you've never seen before, it just creates something new through mixing things you've seen, which granted, would be pretty new for an individual, but right now we can't see any new colors because we've gone through the entire color spectrum.

[@CyricRO]

@@miltongam5870 The key word to focus on is the word "imagine" - You may be tricking the eyes, but you're also tricking the mind. I can't imagine any colors I haven't already seen, but by use of the trick, I was able to imagine a color that was new.... At least, new to me.

[@Erik-yw9kj]

Seeing different colors is like hearing different tones, but with your eyes instead of your ears. The same way you can make out specific sounds by their vibrations and patterns, we can make out specific colors. In this metaphor, brightness is like loudness. It works this way because light and sound are both different types of vibrations.

[@WMTeWu]

Erik Forbes Nice try! There is one problem with your explanation though. You can order tones from the lowest to the highest, but you can't do this with colors. If you happen to know the frequency of light that each color refer to, then you might be able to order colors - but you can't differentiate lower frequency of light from higher with just your eye (without any prior knowlage). You can do this with sound, at least if there is decent frequency difference between two tones.

[@Erik-yw9kj]

WMTeWu I hadn't considered that, but you're right. =) Good catch!

[@UnemployedDoctor]

You are good at explaining. I'd give you that.

[@luciatilyard2827]

Roland Völker I'd dispute a few of the things you say. There are some colours where it's hard to say,'this is blue or this is green. Also, the character of a colour IS relative to the colours it's with, (though it also could be said to be of a certain character that can be dictated by your mood). (I'm coming at this from an artists point of view). Also, I'd say that there are some notes that played alone, do have a certain character.

[@DrakeFellwing]

WMTeWu Technically you can... if you're talking about the visible light spectrum. The main difference between that and sound though is a deeper sound is evolutionarily relevant, the wavelength that light emits a specific color isn't.

[@F2P_Tricky]

+styx85 Well, not really. A texture is a way of describing how something physically feels. So by saying you can see a texture, yes, you can see the patterns of that texture, but the literal texture itself is not meant for vision. It is reserved for the sense of touch.

+Geometry Dash ViViD well, at least for me anyway, it's easy to tell what the texture of something is just by looking at it

Does his memory of having felt the shape of a car "paint a picture" of a shape that he recollects? How could it, when he has no concept of seeing any picture, ever.. Lets put it like this; if someone asks me to think of the shape of an object, I have no other way of thinking about it but visualizing it's shape.Think of three wooden unpainted, rough poles, in the shape of the letter H. Sure, you can imagine feeling the splinter-riddled surfaces and how you run your hands across the shape that forms and H.. But you can't stop yourself from visualizing it.. Can you? Just...

[@stupidazzo5404]

Such a fascinating concept!

[@TayaM3264]

This man literally put my experiences and questions into words. This is literally my perspective. LOL

[@stanprogressstanyang]

are you also blind since birth? -- i feel like the most useful piece of information a sighted person could give about what vision is like is that a person's field of vision can be fit entirely onto a 2D flat surface (in fact, this is why things like photographs and computer screens can be flat, and why something like a jpeg file can have no depth whatsoever). equally important to understand though is that the points on this plane (which,, despite technically not being discrete, we can still basically think of as "pixels") that neighbor one another can be very close or even touching but will still manage to keep their own colors without anything blending into each other. (in this respect vision is very different from senses like hearing and smelling, where things just sorta merge and blur into one another. vision is inherently flat, and is inherently location-preserving. if i had to pick two qualities to describe it with, i think those are the two i'd say most capture the unique character of vision.) (as a quick clarification, i should point out that i realize that many people will call vision 3-dimensional, and might point out things like how 3D movies differ from regular movies in order to back this claim up. it's really not anywhere close to true though. vision is *completely* 2-dimensional in its nature, but because we receive two slightly different images at once (since each eye is slightly differently located) the brain is able to quickly compare and contrast the two images it receives moment by moment and create a sense of depth. 3D movies emulate this by interlacing shots from two slightly different-angled cameras, and then having viewers wear special glasses so that each eye sees a different shot. again though, like all other images, real or filmed, these images are themselves flat and can be fit onto a 2D cartesian plane. a person with only one eye will not get the effects of a 3D movie, and in general is not said to have "stereoscopic vision", but they too can still generate a sense of depth as they walk around or whatever, since the visual information they receive changes from moment to moment based on their movement, and provides new information from sides or angles of things that maybe weren't visible even just a tenth of a second earlier.) regarding colors,, the way in which a color like black differs from a color like red or turquoise or whatever isn't really the most interesting part about vision imo. effectively, those are just labels, which each point on this flat 2D field of vision can be marked with, allowing the brain to then group similarly colored neighboring "pixels" on this plane into shapes, thereby letting us make out different objects. the two most important thing to understand about colors, are 1. that the entire color spectrum can be arranged on a multi-dimensional continuum (in fact, something you might know is that colors like red and orange are kinda close to each other, which is why we can use terms like "reddish-orange", but that blue is very far away from them on the spectrum, which is why terms like "reddish-blue" or "bluish-orange" do not exist and would not be useful or make much sense), and 2. that any given point on this flat plane can only have *one* color, and in fact each point must have *at least* one color. something else i should probably almost certainly mention is that colors are really the *only* thing that can be seen. some people might say otherwise, and that there are other elements of vision like shading or texture or whatever. but in reality these things are just illusions that arise from complex patterns of colors placed next to one another. (again, we can see this by looking at something like a jpeg file. jpegs are fully capable of showing sunsets or whatever other complex image, and yet all they are is a bunch of rows and columns of pixels, where each pixel has exactly one specific color. there is no "texture" value in any of the pixels in a jpeg.) --- so, colors are not simply some "frill" of vision or something like that then, but rather, for all intents and purposes, colors *are* vision. without vision, a person obviously cannot experience colors, but it's equally as true that if a person can't see any colors, then on no level does it make sense to try to claim that they have vision. (it's no more possible to imagine vision without colors than it is to imagine the english language without letters. if someone were to say "i know english has vowels, and it has consonants, but what else does it have besides that?", then you could maybe make the case that other things can /arise/ from how you put the letters next to each other, but ultimately if you remove all the vowels and consonants from english then there's not really anything left. and the same is true with vision. if you were to remove all the colors, then there'd be nothing left. -- and in fact, you need to be able to see at least *two* colors to have vision, so that those two colors can contrast and make shapes. if a person could see only one color, then it would not be enough to be useful in any way. it would be like writing green text on a green background, which is impossible to read since there's no way to tell anything apart in such a scenario.) now,, there are also some things that are transparent, which realistically means that they have no color and therefore cannot be seen (and so, we see whatever's behind them instead). something like a dirty window could then be thought of as clear in some spots (the parts that are clean) but opaque in the other spots where it's dirty (which is why you can't see through those parts, because the dirt is opaque and in the way, and so that's what you end up seeing instead). because vision is inherently flat and 2-dimensional, it is not possible to simultaneously see a thing and see /through/ that thing. at every given point, it must be either one or the other., never both. (well,, i take that back. with something translucent, like a stained glass window, then you can partially see the window at a specific point /and/ partially see what's behind that point, because some light waves are getting through while others are being blocked, but that's a somewhat complex example to try to explain.) and i realize that this must sound extremely bizarre, that if a thing doesn't have color, then it can't be seen, and so instead the color of the thing /behind/ it is assigned to that point on the field of vision. but really, this is just a necessary consequence of the fact that the field of vision is 2-dimensional, and that every point must have one color and one color only. i would imagine that people who have been blind since birth operate in extremely 3-dimensional models of reality that their brains have constructed for them, and how unbelievably bizarre it must be then to realize that a sense like vision comes in these flat sheets (which can be handy enough to be able to capture a whole bunch of objects all at once without muddling any of them together, but at the same time be so limited as to only provide information about the /front sides/ of all of those objects). we cannot see behind things, or see around corners (in the way that one can hear, or even smell, around corners), and so it's a pretty different animal from those other senses, and yet this is the primary source of sensory information for the majority of people, which has no doubt had tremendous effects on how so many of us conceive of our surroundings. my guess would be that many sighted people (whether they realize it or not) internalize their vision as a sort of screen in front of them, and when asked to think about what they think it's like to be blind, might guess that it's simply like having that same screen in front of you except now it's blank. but of course, if you've never had vision, then you never had any reason to feel like there's some sort of flat screen in front of you that's simply failing to show you your life in a series of flat sheets. what i am completely uncertain about though, is how easy it is for a blind-since-birth person to think 2-dimensionally in this way. but if you /can/ imagine a flat screen in front of your face, and can keep in mind that the most important thing to realize about how this screen works is that each point can display any value of a certain specific category (and this category is of course "colors", but you can think of it as numbers or letters or anything really, just keeping in mind that the purpose is to be able to then group these points by like value, as to parse the screen up into shapes) but that at any given time must display exactly one value, then i think you will have a fairly developed concept of what vision is like as an experience.

[@raacer]

Hi Tommy! I think the best way to describe the concept of color to you is to compare it to sound pitch. Light is like a kind of sound that you can feel with very high precision, so you can feel the location points where every sound is going from at the same time. Any object produces sound by every small piece, and this allows you to feel the shape, like you touch every piece at the same time. So eyes are kind of ears that also used as hands to feel the shape of objects. Two eyes gives you ability to feel the object from slightly different sides at the same time like you use two hands. Red is a very low pitch, green is a middle pitch, blue is a very high pitch, black is silence, and white is loud noise. That's all. What do you think about this, is this simple enough? Of course you still can't feel colors, but you can imagine this like another kind of sound that you distinguish from normal sound. I think this explanation is very close to the light and color nature.

[@keith9022]

I think the best way to explain color is to compare it to sound, like high frequency color is purple, and low is red, and compare it to High frequency sounds, and low frequency sounds

[@puppetmaster6520]

Sally Graves hahaha you're stupid White is blue+red+green BLACK is ALL COLOR

[@sallygraves6406]

Black is the absence of color (and is therefore not a color) Explanation: When there is no light, everything is black. Test this out by going into a photographic dark room. There are no photons of light. In other words, there are no photons of colors. White is the blending of all colors and is a color. Explanation: Light appears colorless or white. Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. A rainbow is proof. You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions bend the light rays and create a rainbow. You can also use a prism to demonstrate this. Fact: The sum of all the colors of light add up to white.

[@PrimalRedemption]

Sally Graves Sally stop embarrassing yourself please. You are wrong and I have already proven why. Go read my above posts. You are confusing the terms *light* and *color*. Light is additive in nature and color is subtractive. Do you know why a black T-shirt gets hot in the sunlight whereas a white t-shirt stays cool? Because that particular dye is absorbing all the light frequencies. The color of an object can be defined as the light left over after a frequency gets absorbed. Leaves and grass appear green because they are absorbing magenta colored light. Hence the color green is actually an object which has absorbed magenta light. Black therefore is the sum total of all absorption in other words all color. Remember, each color is the antagonist of the light being absorbed. This is why its subtractive in nature. A white shirt on the other hand reflects all light, therefore has no color.

And as a matter of fact sky isn't blue either. It's a phenomenon called diffraction of the spectrum of light that make us see it like that.

[@Tezugade]

maqueterobcn Yes... right! BUT... theoretically... if you see it blue is because it is blue! And from space if you see it black is because it is black... Color drives from perception, and perception depends on many factors that very rarely happen again in the exact same way. The blue you see is not always the same blue, so the difference from one blue to the other is the same from blue to black... they are different, always. It also means you are not seeing the same thing, or at least the same layers of the sky. Things have color but not because they "have" it... they have colors because of the reflexion of light. ALWAYS. So the case of the sky actually is applicable to everything... and generally people don't see it that way because of the simple fact that we know that the sky is blue from earth and dark from space, but that is no exception... that is the rule for everything but just in a very extreme example.

[@Zachary-md1ft]

[@Mxrlou]

Luke I said physics because I learned about optics in physics class :)

[@JJviniciuss]

Actually, color in painting and color in physics are pretty much the same. You studied in your physics class that blacks objects observes all lights, so they don't reflect light in any frequency and thus we see "nothing", we see black. This concept is basically the same in painting; when you paint blue for example, every color is being absorbed except the blue spectrum, but when you mix it with red and yellow you kinda overlapped this characteristic, yellow and red do not reflect blue, and blue do not reflect yellow and red, and since we mixed then, we will have no lights reflected.

[@sh0wp0ny]

Josev Mixing the colours, primary colours, etc. are different.

[@Obsticate]

I'd say colour is like the different textures of objects or different pitches of sounds: just makes some objects look different from others in the same way pitch and texture make things sound and feel different

[@GraveUypo]

pitch is probably the closest analogy you can make since pitch is also just different wavelengths... but i don't think it comes even close to explaining what color is. specially because our perception of sound is objective and of color is entirely subjective. mixing a 1000hz signal with a 2000hz signal won't make a 1500hz signal in our brain. mixing magenta and cyan (addictively) will give pink, which isn't even a real wavelength. pink doesn't exist, it's just how we interpret "white minus green".

I know this is late, but let's try it. If you had (1) grain of flour. You take away the powder and leave the smallest increment, you would say that nothing is there. That is water. It is usually blue, but to such a small degree that we say it is transparent like glass (similar thing, but green). When you gather a cup of flour together on the counter, you can clearly feel it and notice it, the ocean is the same way in that the water is thick enough and there is enough that the color becomes the more obvious feature and not the transparency. I know this probably won't help, or is too late to help, sorry. Also, colors are different, in the same way that you would call many different sounds under the category of "birds chirping."

A blind person feels a squared object and we explain that we have a panoramic perception of that which is continuous and doesn't disappear like sounds.

[@matthewtheobald1231]

So I thought I'd take my best stab at explaining what sight is like. So compared to hearing I'd say sight is more tactile and physical. Sight is like how we construct the world around us spatially. it's how we know the location of things and know their appearance and physical properties exactly. It's the sense that feels most real to us and the most objective. Hearing something feels like an after affect. Like an affect of reality where as sight feels more like reality itself. Hearing something feels very internal. Like it's coming from inside our heads, where as sight feels very external. Like senses coming from the outside in. You don't feel sight, you experience it. Nothing has to occur in order for us to see things unlike hearing. When you hear something it's because something vibrated to make that sound, but sight is constant and a persistent perception of physical space unless there's no light to bounce off things. Sight is how we ground ourselves in the world. Since sight is based on light it is instant with no delay at all, however there are limitations to it. We can't see through anything that light can't pass through and we have a limited field of view. Even more than that we have to focus on specific things in our field of view in order to notice it. So just because something is technically in our field of view doesn't mean we will see it. So unlike hearing something, we have a choice to see something. If something makes a sound and you're near enough to hear it then you will no matter what, but with sight we can close our eyes or look away. That choice of perception I think helps it to feel more real too and is why sight feels more like a conscious and active perception more then a passive one. When we look at something we're perceiving its 3 dimensional shape without touching it and we're seeing the colors of that shape. Color is like the pitch of a sound. As you go higher you get more blue and as you go lower you get more red. It is physically on top of the object and part of it so in that way it is sort of like a texture but one that's seen and not felt. That's the best I can do. Everything we see has depth to it. So we can judge how far away something is from us. It's a general feeling and not exact. Objects far away are small because they take up less space in our field of view and objects close up are big for the opposite reason and if an object is over lapping another one we can tell which one is in front because it's blocking our full view of the other one. I don't know if that helps in any way but I had fun trying to describe it

[@killemwifkindness]

Yours is one of the best try I see in the comments. To see is to perceive, and we humans rely a lot to feelings either internally or externally, so even though we can't see space(as in the spatial volume of void between objects), we use other things to make a contrast with it to perceive it. That's why I think for blind people, they have very good spatial awareness because they rely on it a lot (imo)

[@BboyKeny]

But the number of cones you have are way less than the number of colors we perceive. So certain combinations of wave lengths trigger multiple cones. Let's say cone 1, 2 and 3 will make you see red. Missing cone 1 makes you see a completely different color like green. Colorblind people are missing a number of cones, depending on how many you miss and which one you miss that makes it differ how severe of a colorblindness you have. There isn't really 3 types of colorblindness there are thousands but most of them can be generally be put in 3 categories. Blue, red and green. There is also the variant of missing all the cones making you unable to see color at all. You don't have cones at the side of your eyeballs, so you can test that by closing 1 eye and trying to see what color an object just on the edge of your field of vision. I'm red green colorblind but this also makes it so that certain variants of blue is purple for me and vice versa. Matching clothes is a hell. That''s why you more than often need help with it from someone else or try to not wear colors at all. So black or white. There is also the problem of certain colors being invisible for me because I miss all the cones to perceive it. Like when I look at a bush of red roses, I can't see the roses. They are literally invisible. Some happens on websites with a big red warning. I can't see it. This really depends on the color surrounding it. My brain the fills it in with that color. If there is something like white surrounding it. It just looks grey to me.

"how could the sky and ice both be the same color?" my mind is a little blown.

[@murican1889]

I am so blessed to not be blind or deaf. Shit like this makes me grateful for my situation

[@saynotohookups]

I'm half deaf since birth and I'm glad for the one ear that I have.

[@NotJustinFPV]

Thank you Tommy. This topic of color intrigued me so much I almost stopped at a green light. Your sense of humor is the best.

[@Katie-ww8qk]

Colors remind me the most of emotions, but that's tricky because of all the subtle shades

[@zanly5039]

Emotions are all on sliding and moving scales, not a simple "I'm happy/sad/confused/etc" toggle. So colors having subtle shades actually fits your analogy pretty well (and yes, I used the correct "your").
