Can you Imagine what a blind person can see? First of all to see anything around, we required light and sense of vision. If you don’t have even one of them you can’t see anything. If suppose you have eyes but no light you can’t see any object. All the things would look black. The body will look black because there is no light so none of any object’s colour will bounce in your eyes. Which make all the object look black. But what will happen if there is no sense of vision even if there is dense light. Will it also look black or not or any other colour.

From the image above we can understand that the colour called Eigengrau is a type of color we see when our eyes are closed. And the colour black is a colour black which is obvious you all know. Means here we can understand that when we close our eyes we don’t see black colour, actually its Eigengrau. The color black is often referred to as the absence of light, but when it comes to the human visual system, eigengrau is the color perceived in the absence of light. Means when you close your eyes you see eigengrau color which is formed by human visual system.

I think I have asked you a question. What does a blind person see? Well, the answer is not black, neither Eigengrau nor any other colour. Might be listening weird and do you want to find answer, So let’s do one experiment. When your both the eyes are open what are the things you were able to see, everything right. You have two eyes so close one of your eyes, let be you left one. When you close your left eye you are not able to see a small portion in the left side. Small portion has turned to eigengrau colour and when you open it, all the things are again visible. The same thing you do with your right eye, you will again see a small portion on right side has turned eigengrau. Now close your eyes. You will see complete eigengrau colour. But what if you accidentally lost one eye, will you again see that portion with eigengrau colour. The answer is "NO". You see eigengrau color when there is no light but here is no vision means here you will see no colour. No, means absolute nothing, no black, no eigengrau, no color nothing because you have no vision. If I say you, what you see from your legs. You will say "What nonsense, what we see from legs we don’t have eyes there." That’s the thing you dont have eyes on your legs means you can see absolute nothing from there, no eigengrau, no colour, nothing from your legs. The same logic works here, if you dont have eyes you are unable to see anything. This logic of seeing absolute nothing is out of the humans Imagination.
