Is it possible to explain color to a blind person if thay have never experienced it? Can the brain of a blind person assign a color to something if they know the shape but not the color?
We can not say for sure, but I would think this would be impossible. It is very difficult to describe colors of objects to a seeing person and all of the definitions of color use examples. If one has never experienced the examples, then it seems it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to give them an impression of color appearance.
