Guess it just varies from person to person. I can't tell colors by feel. but
I know people who can, too.

Colors also baffle me. A pool table's top is green, and so is grass.
They are both green, but don't feel anything alike. I have had German
Shepherds that were black with tan markings and masks, yet the whole guide
felt the same. I knew someone who could tell your hair color by touch,
yet he could not describe how he did it. He could not explain the
difference.

Well, if we're talking about personal experiences, I can picture colors
as well. And objects if I feel them have a vague visual outline of what
I think it would look like. Even with objects I didn't know well if I had
it described I usually come up with some sort of tactile picture. and
yes, it would be pretty much impossible for a sighted person to see what
you're describing as nothing, which is what we see. But again, the
closest thing would be pure blackness. Like at the back of a cave.

Yeah, I guess I was leaving out someone who formerly had sight and went
blind. I know someone who's been blind since birth, yet can somehow
picture colors in her head. I was just talking about myself in
particular and what it sounded like Charles and Scott were talking
about. Now that I've read a couple more messages it sounds more like
Scott is closer to my type of blindness. But there definitely is a type
of blindness where you can not see anything, not even black. And I would
think that would be pretty much impossible to imagine for someone who
can see colors and possibly even imagine pictures, which I can't do
either. The best I can do is come up with a sort of tactal perception in
my head if I've felt the object before, and a ... well, basically a
description if I haven't.
