Not to mention what one person sees as beautiful or touches with pleasure might not be the same to another that sees or touches the same thing.
Colours have a meassurable effect on the mind that's fairly general (red, yellow "warm colours. Makes you active", Green, Blue "cold colours. Makes you calm". Green clothes to reduce the efffect of blood stains etc) so colours do seem to be a more general perception.

The difference between touch and eye sight is quite drastical though. One of the biggest is that unlike touch, anything you see looks different from a different angle. Sincce your brain has worked with this during your entire growth, you won't usually notice it. But it is somewhat of a problem for those who regain sight after being without it for a few decades.
