[stylist] Question about color and blindness

[Donna Hill]

Barbara,
I had the same thing with my vision -- using it and learning colors. I have
memories -- some just opinions at this point -- about what colors look good
with what other colors, in terms of clothing. There have been times when a
sighted person tells me that things go together, and it sounds awful to me
(green and blue, for instance). I know that tastes have changed, but I can't
bring myself to wear colors that don't sound right to me. There was a time
during the psycodelic era when people would wear stripes and prints
together. I could see it, and it didn't suit me; beyond that, I figure that
if I wore something outlandish, people would think it was because I was
blind and didn't know any better.

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.
