Missing colors?

I woman came in my studio today and asked if I saw color. She had spent time in Sedona and told me she had learned to see colors and wondered if I saw colors. She said it changed her life. She was speaking about auras. Well, I'm not sure I see colors around things but I certainly see and am acutely atuned to color. Why is it people feel the need to add to the abundance that is already there? Is there something missing in reality?
