umm, possibly a colour? like ‘red’. you couldn’t say like: oh it looks like a darker shade of pink, becuase people might not know the colour pink if they don’t know red lol. suppose you could put like, the colour of blood or something though…hmmm. that’s a real humdinger of a question lol.
oo, just had a thought! what about trying to actually DESCRIBE an emotion. it’s easy to describe someone’s actions in order to portray the emotion but its alot harder (imo anyway) to actually describe the feeling itself.

Explaining any of the five senses can be daunting, touch being the easiest. Colors are very difficult. Strong emotions are hard. Things that we know but do not see; the wind, electricity,etc. We see effects of these objects but not the actual objects. (Lightning does not count, it is the expulsion of gases being ignited).
