[stylist] Question about color and blindness

[David Andrews]

The answer to color is yes.  Colors represent emotions, feelings, 
etc., to most people so you can have your favorite without seeing.

As to art, what do you mean by "art?"  Painting on canvas is just one 
kind of art, There is mu art that can be appreciated in multiple 
ways, or modalities as the professionals would say.

Also, in terms of more visual arts, you still could have a favorite 
because you admire the creator, or some other reason.
