Just tell them it is a burning, stinging sensation in the eyes and that some have gone mad with the torment of having to see these blasted colors every moment of every day and that blinking is only a split second of freedom from the pain.....
Give the blind people something to be happy about now and then, sheesh.
Take a football.
Have the blind person feel the ball. Tell the blind person to move his finger around the ball in one direction. Make him realise that by moving in that one direction, you eventually return to the place you started.
Explain that no matter which way you move over the ball, you will always come back around to the same spot. Most people will be able to comprehend this.
Now, explain that this is two-dimensional. Explain that there is a third dimension, that you don't have to move around the surface of the ball, but that you can actually leave the surface all together! And that if you do, you've broken the mould of 2 dimension.
Then explain that everything one feels and senses is the two dimensions and that vision is a third dimension. It's another way of intepreting reality (the ball). That colours IS this vision.
The ball is the same, but colour is another way of intepreting its existence.
Or hot and cold...

Bonk them one good with a shovel. Tell them the birds flying around their head are yellow, the stars are red...
This thread is making me wonder how people who have never seen at all dream?! Do they just dream in sound??? When I rub my eyes I can see all sorts of strange colors... I guess rubbing their eyes wont work... but do they just have BLACK all the time... or nothing at all!? What does nothing look like?!
This thread is confusing.... or could be just my post.
P-
