    There's no way, sorry

    But you may use adjectives and nouns to describe your feeling when you see a color, such as:

    Hot, fire when you see red - think he understands what hot means

    Cool, water when you see blue... isn't it cool?

    Snow is white and see if you can get him some snowy white snow... or tell him about X'mas time, a White X'mas

    For green, hand him a leave, etc etc

    BTW my fave colors are grey and blue

    I am no expert on this but this website may give you much more ideas:

    Color has meaning and "moods...yellow for happy, brown for sad, green for energy, to be injured is black and so on...also taste can be used...something hot is red, cold is blue, sweet could be orange etc.

    You can explain it to them by touch and feel, hot and cold. They only have the darkness concept of color otherwise.

    just say the color to them and they do know coz their heart are full of colors like rainbow.They do know sky is blue, earth is green, sun is red and moon is yellow.

    For blue, let them feel something cold, for red, let them feel something hot, for green let them smell cut grass, for orange, let them smell an orange, etc.

    I agree with deb, you can try to explain them through the other senses, but it might be tricky. Great question, btw

    Same way you would a person with sight.

    you prolly can't. You'd have to use bright and dark as definitions.
