Color Envisioned: Concepts of Colour in the Blind, Colorblind, and Sighted
Paul Corballis, Ph.D.
The University of Auckland

How do people born without sight – or with anomalous color vision – conceive
of color?  For most of us, color seems such an intrinsic part of visual
experience that it is hard to separate from the physical properties of the
world.  Yet, unlike many aspects of vision, color has no analog in other
senses, so the experience of color cannot be readily captured by a blind
person.  In this talk I will discuss a recent series of studies in which we
used multidimensional scaling to compare the understanding of color between
samples of congenitally blind and adventitiously blind, people with red-green
color blindness, and normal trichromatic observers.  We found striking
evidence that blind people – as well as people with anomalous color vision –
are able to develop a sophisticated understanding of the relationships between
colors they cannot see.  The results imply a strong role for semantics in
organizing our experience and understanding of color.
