By relating it to them in terms of the other senses they have, like taste, feel, or even a sound.

You can't because not being able to see wont give them an imagination plus how do you explain/describe a colour anyways without showing the colour? you can say blue is the same colour as the sky but a blind man cant see - so how would they know what its like! - i find it kind of desterbing but its life isn't it there always a superior and then theres always one who is not

By using objects, feelings, and even food. For red, hot things. For blue, cold things. Talk about how the colors make you feel. Use cotton for white and have them feel it in their hands and on their face. They use all of their other senses since they can't use their sense of sight. You can give them something to eat that could be for a color. Listen to things, like the cd's with the ocean's roar or birds chirping.
