Dear all, Nice thread of discussion. Well, being a late blind and now totally blind, I am able to match colours of my kurties and jeans. Yes, its true once I have to ask all colours which are on only one kurti, because nowadays drashes are in maltipal colours. Even while shopping also I am habitual to ask which portion is in which colour by touching all designs to my dear ones and sales man/girl. Then after visualisation of colours and designs, no problem in matching anytime ,even I am alone also at my home or during some trainings. Just for curiosity, I would like to know, how is it possible to recognize colours of dress being a born blind? Means, how he/she can know pink kurti/ti shirt is full match with blue/black jeans. At Vamshi, what’s reason regarding you have to put matching pairs in covers when outside of home?
