assuming our subject was born without eyes but with all the other neurological appatus for vision then they would 'see' colors and washes etc (though they would have difficult articulating these as colors since the connection between these sensations and language would be tenuous). the neurology will find ways to activate itself - same reason people see and hear in sensory deprivation chambers. our born without eyes subject would not have the kind of visual memory to create images but the neurons would still fire to create activity. whether this is 'seeing' is another question but the neurophysology would work (same reason people who have lost a limb feel it itch).
a subject born without eyes OR the neurological structures for vision would have no vision or sense of colors or anything else.
as an odd aside - my 'washes of mental color' are purple - what color are yours? I've often wondered if the colors we see in the dark are connected to other personality dynamics though i've not pursued the question.
zero out
