A silly question?

Do colours exist to a blind person?

Born blind, only the color of the person's 'blank screen' (whatever that is), I would say....

Blind after having sight previously, the memory of colors...

Well, that's my stab at it.

Yes, a blind person "experiances" color.

A blind person does not see a black nothing, even someone with total blindness (which is rarer than people realize, most registered blind people being between 90 && 99% blind, which is as good as having no sight), see's and experiances things.

Close your eyes and see what you see, you will see colors, shapes etc., just as a blind person does, and you will find you even have the ability to sense certain large objects etc., at times.

Color is not just a facet of the visual apparatus of the body, but also a facet of the mind.
