Describing color to someone who has been blind since birth poses significant challenges, as they lack the visual experience necessary to comprehend the concept fully. The discussion highlights the idea that while sighted individuals can perceive light differences even with closed eyes, a totally blind person likely cannot detect such changes due to non-functional retinal nerves. Some participants suggest that warmth could be an alternative way to introduce the concept of color, as it relates to sensory experiences. However, others argue that attempting to describe color may be unnecessary and ineffective, as blind individuals typically have no practical use for color. Instead, providing a technical understanding of color from a physics perspective might be more beneficial, even if it doesn't convey the experiential aspect of color. Overall, the consensus leans towards the difficulty and limited value of trying to convey the concept of color to someone who has never experienced sight.
