[Blindtlk] Remembering Color without Vision

[Judy Jones]

I have had light perception all my life due to ROP, have never had a firsthand working knowledge of colors, but they are definitely part of my life through input and information.  Granted that is not the same as seeing them, but for me, the world would be drab without their influence.  When I was younger I could discern some orange or red, and I could see that some shades were darker, other shades darker still, but that's about it.

I love to wear colorful clothes, and have noticed over the years that certain color combinations are now acceptable, where they weren't years ago, very interesting.  There are many ways to enjoy color, bling, and sparkle.

Hi All,

  Wow, what an encouraging and overwhelmingly positive set of responses! Thank you all!

I am so glad and grateful to hear that as I have always loved color and  tend to use imagery all the time when people, books, movies… talk about colors. The richness of a sunset or sunrise that I tend to  picture is one of my favorites and I am so glad to hear  that this seems to be the norm rather than the exception.

  Thanks to everyone for such wonderful color memories!
Have a wonderful week all and keep remembering!
Chris
