      Hey,

      I think you probably can but perhaps in different ways. If you think of people who are blind and have never seen colours, they can often describe colours to you based on how the colours might feel. So red is associated with heat and hot things, and blue is associated with cold. So by using their other senses people who are blind can think of colours with seeing them.
