[stylist] Question about color and blindness

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I see what you're saying, no pun intended. And of course this post
excludes anything tactile or the performing arts.

I didn't mean to imply a blind person can't appreciate art at all, but I
meant it specific to visual mediums that can't necessarily be touched.

Ross just said that perhaps if a person who could never see knew, for
instance, that a tree were green, and knowing what a tree looks like
because you can touch it, you may adopt green as a favorite color. Not
that this is always the case but a possible association nonetheless.

Thanks for the explanation.

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.
