Tommy Edison, the wonderful blind film critic who once showed us how he used an iPhone, has a new video describing something nearly impossible for blind people to understand: colour. What’s great is that even though Edison doesn’t understand the concept of colour, colours still have meaning to him. Watch him describe what red, blue, orange, black and white. It’s awesome to see colour from such a completely different perspective. [YouTube via Laughing Squid]

How Blind People Use Instagram
I suddenly have an overwhelming sense of appreciation for my sight now.
Genuinely one of the few videos on the internet which has made me realise how amazing it is to not be blind. I’d love to see another video of this guy getting vision one day and seeing colour.
This video has certainly opened my eyes.
I’ve always wondered about blind people’s concept of colour, and now I have at least one perspective – thanks Giz and Tommy!
Did he get Black and White mixed up?
