chilli/heat from stove = red
ice = white
fridge coolness = blue

This is an interesting question thumbs up

From what I just read, people who have been blind from birth can recognise colour, when they need to, using various devices and techniques.

A sighted person would assist with attaching braille tags to clothing for instance, so that the blind person would feel confident and comfortable when dressing, plus it would help when sorting the wash.

And have you thought about a blind person's dreams?

Apparently they are auditory only, although a person who was born sighted but became blind at some stage in their life, could see images of people and things as they remember them. These may become blurred as time goes on.
