Reddit reviews The Black Book of Colors

this is amazing. something comparable this painting reminded me of was The Black Book of Colors. This book is completely black, but has illustrations that are relief. The book's intention is to try and explain to a blind child what colors are... but without using colors. It's actually really moving.

It reminds me of this book: [The Black Book of Colors] (http://www.amazon.com/Black-Book-Colors-Menena-Cottin/dp/0888998732/ref=la_B0034OQZJ4_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369777983&sr=1-1)

I bought this book for children when I was student teaching. I thought it did a great job describing colors in a different way. There is also a raised texture/outline on each page of what the text is describing as well as all the printed text in braille underneath. Very cool if you want to check it out!

Well, because they exist in the same linguistic environment as everyone else, blind people have concepts which have sets of associations, which they label "blue," "green", "red" -- the Black Book of Colors is a children's book that deals with this phenomenon.

These might not be conceptualized in exactly the same way, but they do have many of the same associations; "Warm" and "cool" colors, for instance.
