hi bipin, I’ll ask if the person ever taste the chilli. Obiviously the reply is yes then The color red can be related to chilli since it’s a vigorous colour and hot.

The catch word is 'describe the colour red'. You will never be able to make the blind person visualise the exact colour as red. What you are expected to do is to describe your understanding of the colour as red. To instil the knowledge about colours in general, and related items of each colours including red. As a blind person he would definitely understand what is black (dark) and be able to sense what it white (brighter light). Explain that others are similar colours of different nature and so is red. However hard you could try, the blind person will visualise red as a variant of dark only. Your answer ends once you are able to instil a general knowledge on colours.

To associate red with chili is wrong because not all of it is red.
But come to think of it? Why try hard to find the answer when everything that you will say is wrong. Remember, there is no right answer.

Hi,
I just want to add little bit to it, First of all I will ask that blind person that whatever his feeling or imagination about the word color on that basis we can easily make him familiar with red color

One can not explain totally how the color red . It is said that one can explain colors through taste. Diane Ackerman, author of the Natural History of the Senses, said that people with disability oftentimes become ultra sentient through the other senses that are still existing. so people who are color blind or totally blind, for instance, would have a heightened sense of smell or taste.
i'll probably describe the color red through the taste of chili and the burning trail that it leaves in your tongue.
