Craig quoted wikepedia quoting Robert Heinlein: "it means as little to us (because we are from Earth) as color means to a blind man" Reminds me of the scene from the movie 'Mask', where/when/in which the boy teaches the blind girl about colours using a variety of things in the kitchen. Well worth a look.
