[stylist] Question about color and blindness

[Lynda Lambert]

This is beautiful, Vejas!
And, I guess we all associate a color with objects, don't we?  I was 
thinking of a movie I saw once - don't remember the name of it.  But a blind 
teenager was trying to teach another blind teenager what is color - and he 
held up a hand full of cotton, and told her it was like clouds, so she could 
imagine what a cloud would be like.
Your marshmallows reminded me of how "white" would feel as well as look - in 
your mind.
