I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕

Hi Molly! I would be interested in a collaboration with Veritasium, Physic Girl, or other physician. It would be interesting because physicians think of colours in non-visual properties, like temperature and frequencies.

After listening to Molly's description of colors, maybe SHE should publish a book accessible to blind and sighted people? Being from her emotional perspective, it would be unique even if there are other books in that category out there.

I'm curious how you interpret color plays into picking out an outfit for example. Do you base your color combinations on how the feelings and associations go with one another, or do you base it on something else?

[@Narnendil]

Yes, I'd like to hear this as well.

[@sarahsunshine2730]

[@lyokogirl5155]

Fun fact: the inability to picture images in your head is called Aphantasia and can effect sighted people as well

[@april2216]

I said this out in my own comment, but Im really interested in if blindness has any relation to Aphantasia, I’m sighted and I have Aphantasia and wonder if Molly also maybe has Aphantasia!

[@prinzezze]

@@april2216 I doubt that because she’s describing what the colours make her think of.

[@april2216]

@@prinzezze I would assume she can still associate those colors with things, she has been able to see color in her lifetime even if she can’t imagine what the colors look like she might still be reminded of things she once was able to see that were those colors. Also other people can tell her what the color of something is, maybe she could just influenced by how others with vision interpret colors. At least that’s what I’m assuming based on my own experiences with not being able to visualize colors the same as most might (even if I’m not blind and Molly is) and what Molly said in the video!

[@TheNeurospicyMama]

I have total aphantasia. I can't see, smell, hear, recall the way things feel, or taste in my mind. So no images in my mind, most people can recall a scent like lemon or chocolate chip cookies baking. Nope, not me. I can't hear someone's voice in my mind or remember what any sound is like. Same with textures (it's why I'm always touching things!) or the way something will taste (which is weird that I'm a good cook!)

[@TheNeurospicyMama]

@@cassie6985 They are finding that aphantasia just like most brain things is a scale. I have total aphantasia with no senses in my mind and then the other side is hyperphantasia where people have extremely vivid imagery and senses in their mind and can play a movie in their mind of what they are thinking about. When I go to draw a monkey I think of the facts I know about monkeys and can create some semblance of one. It won't look very good. Now I'm better at drawing a cat without looking at one because I'm more familiar with the cats. Still, unless I'm looking at a reference photo it isn't going to be that great. As for the other senses, for instance. When I was packing for a trip in a different climate, I could not remember what it feels like to be hot. I kept wanting to pack my jacket and my kids said, "You won't need that at all mom!" I also suspect that I have SDAM (Self Deficient Autobiographical Memory) which apparently overlaps with people with aphantasia.

I’m almost completely blind now, but I’m actually a visual thinker and I have something called synesthesia. It’s so weird to me but I didn’t lose the visual memory when I lost most of my vision four years ago

[@bee_3887]

What’s synesthesia ????

[@xsargantxshaftx7997]

@@bee_3887 its an neurological disorder when information meant to only stimulate one sense stimulates several senses.

[@charissadubin9355]

Which kind of synesthesia do you have?

[@Ever_Since_Never]

@@charissadubin9355 i’m not sure what it’s called, but it’s the one where when you’re reading you see letters and numbers in different colors. I do this whether I’m reading regular print with my screen reader, or if it’s something in braille. It’s really interesting, and I’m not sure if I will eventually lose it or not.

[@Ever_Since_Never]

@Anna's randomness WhoCares so I see letters and numbers in colors. I’m not sure how it works or if I will eventually lose it, but even when I’m thinking of them I see a letter or a number in color in my head. Like for me A is bright red, B is light yellow, C is a very light blue, and D is purpleish brown. And for numbers 1 is yellow, 2 is dark blue, 3 is like a grass green, and 4 is dark red. Every single letter and number is a different color, and when I see them in words I see each letters individual color.

[@ArreisNerual]

The fact that a blind woman can describe color in more depth than I can even imagine is insane! When I have to describe color I literally do it by the actual color “this would be a pine green or baby blue” I really LOVE how you explained them. This is such an interesting perspective! Please do more videos like this, it’s so interesting and honestly just love hearing you speak and describe things. We love you molly!

@@americanbookdragon well I think most people have seen at least once in their life even just a few stars; molly has never had the ability to perceive them. :(

[@tabitharicheson2130]

I’m assuming by your comment you’re sighted which means you are capable. I refuse to believe you’ve never seen stars.(how often and how many is a different story but you’re capable. You could also travel and be able to then.) Maybe try to put yourself in others shoes and not to make things about yourself. Especially in comparison to someone with a disability. Comes off extremely selfish and rude.

[@Feral_Fruit]

[@ALifeofLearning]

Honestly, after losing my sense of smell because of Covid a week ago I already feel I cannot really remember - let alone describe - a lot of smells that used to be very familiar to me. I am truly amazed that there are blind people that remember what colors look like after years.

[@caylesx]

This is so interesting to me! I know a lot of people say smell can make them remember things. I have never had a good sense of smell, and certain smells right now are completely GONE for me. I can remember what lavender smells like, but I can't smell it now. I can remember what pancakes smell like, and it makes me think of having a headache. Completely random. I can see the colour red and it makes me think of the smell and taste of toffee apples. All random, all weird. :P

[@susanneplays1545]

I can’t remember ever having memory of smell and my sense of smell is very bad. I think I probably lost most of my sense of smell as a child

[@l.c.8475]

That's aphantasia, it's usually brought up in a visual sense, as in the inability to picture things in your head, but it can also be the inability to play music or recreate voices in your head or the inability to recreate smells in your head, it can affect anyone regardless of their ability to sense those things.

[@FukaiKokoro]

I’m pretty sure I had COVID last February 2020. My husband was very worried. Everything I ate tasted like sponge. It’s a tad better now. But there’s this tick I’ve learned of and will try, you burn an orange like in a oven, then you take the inside of the orange and mix it with brown sugar. Supposedly works for that. Idk.

[@katherinechu4581]

I am surprised at how accurate her descriptions are… if I think about the colours as a sighted person without the visuals I agree to most of descriptions! Its amazing!

[@Tiifany02]

Turquoise: my favorite color, makes me remember my mom caus she named me after "Tiffany's&co". For me it's sophisticated, classy and fun. Magenta: ultraviolet? Haha bright, girly and spontaneous. Pruple: my childhood, used to be my fav as a child. Yellow: super brigth, super sunny. Baby blue: calm, cozy. Loved this video molly 🥰

as a sighted person one of my favorite things about your videos (besides you and the education you give me!!) is that i can listen to your videos almost like a podcast because if you do anything visual you describe it for your blind viewers. great for accessibility AND multitasking!!

[@lizzy6056]

Turquoise- I think of my great grandma whom passed away, she wore a turquoise dress at her funeral Magenta- happiness or peppiness, and velvet Purple- lavender, Prince (artist), motherly love Yellow - sunshine, brightness, California Poppy Baby Blue- boy babies, my brother Electric blue- phone charger, surfing, blue eyes Gold- rich, jewelry Silver- kindness, shininess Pastel pink- my sister, warmth, dogs Lilac- fancy ness White- cleanliness, pillows, coldness, snow Rose gold- my mom, expensive, unique, coolness Red- love, roses, romance, lipstick, gang violence, blood, lasagna Orange - Oranges, the smell of an orange, the sun Gray- dullness, plain, comfortable, relaxing, hairy Black- darkness, bat caves, midnight storms, camping, the smell of a campfire, kissing in the rain, family

[@paigesimonds4563]

The colour red makes me think of a mixture of things such as Love Anger Fire

[@Barbarawr]

Just want to add, that some people associate colors und music. I am sighted. When I hear or play music (more when I play) I „see“ or think colors. Fmajor ist orange, Fminor has a warm red. C is blue, G turquoise etc. I mention that to give some people a try that might help getting an idea of mood and colors.

[@kelseyhaddix2403]

I think velvet and grey are a great association. It's very soft to see visually. Not straining on the eyes.

[@jadonhaynes9393]

I wonder if terracotta orange invokes a different feeling for her than normal orange? Because as a sighted person I surprisingly feel the exact same way about normal orange color as she described in the video. But I personally loved terracotta orange it makes me think of Halloween, pumpkins (even though those are more than normal orange color), warmth, candlelight, color-changing leaves, the smell of a crisp fall day, or the of warm apple cider(even if cider is brown), clay mud and plant pots.

[@mayaalise2241]

I lost my eyesight six years ago when I was 20 years old. I still remember what all the colors look like, however, consciously, I am not able to recall faces and many other things!

[@nicole1085]

So interesting. I love the relation on how you view color. I never thought of it that way. 😊

[@Orelaf84]

I like how colors conjure lots of yummy flavors in Molly’s mind.

[@mrluvpups]

Your associations were all very positive, I'd be interested to know if there are any colors that have negative associations for you.

[@livsterlove5681]

I think of turquoise exactly how you do Molly, I love it!

[@julieannemichelle]

I love listening to your color descriptions!!! Because of my albinism I have no filter in my eyes so my eyes absorb the light and that make everything very bright. I love to see colors because I can see them so well and sparkly things like crystals or diamonds. As much as light is very overwhelming to my eyes I am drawn to rainbow lights that are made when you put a light on crystals. But when it starts getting dark and there is very low light I feel colorblind until a light is turned on.

I'm sighted and I still don't know the difference between burgundy and maroon. They are the same thing.

[@mizzbre265]

Burgundy is like red with a small hint of purple and maroon is red with a small hint of brown 🙂

[@JustaMentalNote]

Was coming to say this same thing. I was like, wait, aren’t they the same thing? 😂

[@jamiebumbaugh]

if you put them next to each other I would know, but just with memory recall they're the same 🤷‍♀️

[@brinnleywatts6027]

@@mizzbre265 you explained that in a way that made so much sense thank you

Pardon my ignorance with this question. You mentioned once that you see fireworks sometimes and I'm wondering if you can distinguish between different colours from that visual? Or are the fireworks black and white? Again sorry for not understanding how it works!

[@DanSgambelluri]

The fireworks are purple, green and blue.

Hey! When she says she "sees fireworks" in this video, she's talking about visual hallucinations she experiences that appear as purple, green, and blue fireworks. She is not referring to actual fireworks. Hope this helps!
