Thus, it seems to be impossible to describe to a person born blind what “red” looks like and how it is different from “green” or “blue.” This difficulty is called the “explanatory gap” and philosophers disagree over whether it is due to the inherent ineffableness of color, or whether it is just a short-coming of language that may be solved in time as language changes and evolves.
