A blind woman has demonstrated on German television that she can determine colors by touch.
Gabriele Simon, 48, from Wallenhorst in Germany, demonstrated the ability on the popular German TV show Wetten dass.
According to a news report:
She used her fingertips to recognise the different colours of various t-shirts and blouses while blindfolded. She said: “I took me 20 years to master this skill. It is a combination of pure learning and concentration.” Ms Simon added: “This ability really gives me more independence, as I don’t need to ask my mother about what to wear anymore.”
