[stylist] Question about color and blindness

[vejas]

Hi Bridget,
I have never been able to see color myself.  But I still do have 
favorite colors because they remind me of objects I like.  For 
example, I really like white since it reminds me of marshmallows 
and vanilla, both of which I love.

Okay, I tread carefully here.  Since I wasn't always blind, I 
have
questions myself.  So here I go...

Can a person who has never been able to see truly have a favorite 
color,
or can they really know what they like in art?

I apologize if this is insensitive and stupid.  I'm just curious, 
and
maybe I'm not wording it correctly.

thanks, Mary Jo.  Color holds so much history and meaning, and 
the really

interesting thing is that a particular color will change meaning 
with
different time periods - the same color will be called by a 
different
name,
accroding to the times.  Like everything else in life, it is ever
changing.
But, each color has it's own character and holds meaning.

I enjoyed thinking about this early this morning before I started 
off on
my
day.
Lynda
