Well, if we're talking about personal experiences, I can picture colors as
well. And objects if I feel them have a vague visual outline of what I
think it would look like. Even with objects I didn't know well if I had it
described I usually come up with some sort of tactile picture. and yes, it
would be pretty much impossible for a sighted person to see what you're
describing as nothing, which is what we see. But again, the closest thing
would be pure blackness. Like at the back of a cave.

Yeah, I guess I was leaving out someone who formerly had sight and went
blind. I know someone who's been blind since birth, yet can somehow
picture colors in her head. I was just talking about myself in particular
and what it sounded like Charles and Scott were talking about. Now that
I've read a couple more messages it sounds more like Scott is closer to my
type of blindness. But there definitely is a type of blindness where you
can not see anything, not even black. And I would think that would be
pretty much impossible to imagine for someone who can see colors and
possibly even imagine pictures, which I can't do either. The best I can do
is come up with a sort of tactal perception in my head if I've felt the
object before, and a ... well, basically a description if I haven't.
