I first want to start off by saying that I am a sighted person, meaning that I am not blind, BUT my favorite Youtuber is. Molly Burke is a Canadian Youtuber that I found from Shane Dawson's channel a few months ago and I am addicted.
Molly went blind when she was 14 and much of her channel is her, in a comedic yet educational way, describing how she lives her everyday life as a blind person. She is big into makeup and fashion which she speaks a lot about because when you hear that and then hear that she is blind, it gets confusing.
Molly doesn't let her disability stop her, I honestly think she is pretty amazing. She is easily one of my top idols and not in anyway because she is blind and carries on like a sighted person does.
Go check out her channel and you'll understand. This article today is inspired from this video from her channel where The Gabby Show and Molly collab to have Gabby describe color to Molly. If I repeat a phrase, I apologize, there are only so many ways to describe a color but let me know if there is a different way that you would describe a color below in the comments!
1. Red
Think of love or anger. Red is a bold and passionate color. It is a great color when you want to bring attention to an outfit or something on a paper. It is a hot color that you can almost feel when you see it; it is angry and fiery. This is a strong color that highlights the lips of strong women everywhere and says 'Don't mess with me". It is powerful.
2. Orange
Orange is a hard color to describe but to me, it is a citric color. Even if it is not an orange, the sharp tang of citric acid makes me think of orange. It is a warm color, not too hot like red but not too cold like yellow. Orange is just the right warmth.
3. Yellow
Yellow is a happy color. Looking at the light hues can change any mood in an instant. It is the color of the sun on a hot summer day, beating down it is a warm color that will bring happiness and calmness it its viewer. Yellow is on almost every flower so it is, of course, beautiful and the deeper it gets, the richer it becomes. Yellow, honey, gold, Vermilion. All beautiful bright colors that have a light aura around them.
4. Green
Imagine what you smell when you walk outside after someone just cut the grass, imagine what it tastes like to bite into an unripe banana, that is green. It is not only a color but a taste. It is all in nature, it is such a recognizable taste that you will always know the second it hits your tongue. Green is walking through the park on a spring day, smelling the pollen and the grass and the trees.
5. Blue
Yes, blue can be a sad color, but it can also be something that can be so relaxing. Blue is the color of the deep ocean with waves rushing in and out on the shore. Blue is the color of the sky on the most beautiful summer day that you can imagine.
Blue is a relaxing color, if you need to be calm, this is the color for you. It can be bold like cobalt, but usually, it is relaxing. It will wash over you like the blue waves of the ocean whenever you see it.
6. Purple
A mix between blue and red, purple is the color of royalty. It is a power color but is also one of the few colors that can change its mood based on its shade. A light shade, like lavender, is sweet and creamy. Lavender is a solid color and is a spring color. Darker shades are more transparent.
They are deep and are good colors for the fall and winter. The coldness of the dark purple highlights the coldness in the air perfectly.
7. Black
Darkness. Alone. To most, black is a scary and intimidating color. People in black are bolder and stand out in a crowd. It is the color of fear when you don't know what lies beyond the backdoor at 1am and it is the color of the monster you thought was under your bed when you were 5. Black is a lonely color but it is my favorite.
8. White
White is the most pure and clean color I can think of. White is the color that Hollywood associates with the clean freaks and technology experts. White is clean and light like fresh laundry. White is the color of daisies, the clouds in the sky on a spring day, and the pureness of snow. It is cold and solid.
9. Pink
Red and white come together to make this shade. Pink is pretty, light, feminine, and dainty. Pink is fun and has an energy of its own. Pink looks how cotton candy and bubble gum taste.
