Blind people can't "see" darkness, the same way your foot doesn't see colors.

I assumed blind people only see darkness?

They don’t see at all.

Is it not just dark? Or is it litterally incomprehensible just like it is for blind people to imagine sight?

Try imagining nothing (darkness doesn’t count because that’s still a color so it’s still something). You can’t because you’re unable to experience “nothing”. Same with blindness but for sight.

The best way to imagine this is closing one eye, and you’ll notice you don’t see anything, not even darkness, it just disappears. That’s how being blind is.
