I don’t have any meaningful concept of color. I do have some light perception so assume that white is what I see if you shine a light in my eye, black is what I see when all the lights are turned off and gray is the middle ground when there are some lights turned on but not enough for the light to actually be painful. Intellectually I realize there are other colors but the only way I can explain them is in reference to objects. Grass is green, the ocean is blue, etc. I realize that this is meaningless since I don’t have a frame of reference to compare the ocean to grass from a visual perspective.
- lisper 12y agoIf you have some light perception, what happens if you shine different colors of light in your eye?
- jareds 12y agoNothing, it looks the same to me.
- Rapzid 12y agoI suppose it is possible you're perceiving the light as a particular color, but if you can only perceive that color you would mistaken it for white?
- gohrt 12y agoI don't know what jareds's situation is, but normal humans have light sensors that are not color sensors, and also have color sensors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoreceptor_cell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoreceptor_cell
