This video of a colourblind man seeing a real sunset for the first time will warm your heart

Have you ever tried creating a new colour of your own? It’s just not possible.

But what would it be like if you could suddenly see a whole new spectrum of colour that you had never seen before?

For YouTuber Aaron Williams-Mele, this became a possibility after his parents bought him a special pair of glasses for his birthday.

Aaron is colourblind, meaning he can’t see certain colours (no, it doesn’t mean he sees in black and white). But thanks to some amazing advances in science, Aaron – and thousands of others like him – can see these colours simply by popping on a pair of specially-made glasses.

Needless to say, things got a bit emotional.
