Try and explain what color looks like to a blind from birth person.

[Paradon]

You cant explain sight to a blind person because physically they could not possibly grasp such a great concept, similar to the way we cannot fathom things that we don't know are in existence. It's like a paradox I guess

Pretty much this, it's like coming up with a new color.

Tell your friend to have fun with your money.

Imagine you have two objects that are the same size and shape.
 

With color, even though they are the same shape- you can still tell them apart.

Ok
Now both are of the same color

Tok isn't describing color, he just wrote an brown townogy how colors come in varieties which isn't helpful.

Again I'm pretty sure feeling / warmth / texture is how you describe color to blind people.

Black is chicken.

Stick out thumb forwards.
Thumb can see equally much as a person born blind.

Black is the lack of color

Black isnt the lack of colour, it is the presence of all of them.

[Tokerovin]

No.

White is all the colors mixed.

Black is none of the colors.

Also, in the art world, White and Black are considered 'shades.'

[TeslaCoil]

if that is true
are black people rainbows

[Eryehk]

No.

Darkness is not a colour. We only say darkness is black because its the lack of light being shown.
Black is actually all the colours we see, because it absorbs all visible light, therefore giving off a black colour.

Quote from wikipedia:
It the darkest color, the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light.


White on wikipedia:
White contains all the wavelengths of visible light without absorption, has maximum brightness, and does not have any hue.
