How do blind people recognize colors?
Some people with visual impairments are able to see some colors although others do not see any. It is important to learn about colors even if you cannot see them. It is important for them to learn what colors look nice together, what colors do not match, and about stripes, plaids, and other patterns. Friends can help teach this to them because it is important for clothing and decorating. It may be helpful for them also to understand that the sky is mostly blue and grass is mostly green, and the colors of the ocean and the colors of leaves in the fall. Their imagination will help them paint pictures in their mind.
