I have been blind since birth. I do not see black or sense it. There is no
sense of anything. It's sort of hard to describe.

Hi Shaun,
Well, there is a good reason to associate the color black with
blindness. Someone who is totally blind doesn't see any colors, and if
you have to associate a color with that sensation it would be black
which is the absence of all light. Being blind is the same as locking
a sighted person in a closet with no light which would be pitch dark.

True, but I can't see colour.
People assume that we can just see black because I would imagine that
this is what they associate with darkness.
I know a lot of people don't even see light.
I see light and shaddows of objects, ie cars, walls, etc depending on
reflection of light and how bright it is.
True colour via word associations do work but to see those well I
don't or rather assume I don't.
I probably do see black or at least white but can't recognise it.
In an interesting note during some research I was doing for local
uni I could see uv light but that was that.
So whatever uv is I can assume I am able to see it even if I don't
what I know what this is.
same for darkness, I assume I can see black but don't associate
darkness with anything.
