[stylist] Question about color and blindness

[Barbara Hammel]

You're not out of line at all.  I think that's a great couple of questions. 
I don't know the answers because I used to have a very little bit of vision 
but used it to its utmost so I know my colors.  As for art, I just try to 
visualize it by descriptions.

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.
