you have to compare these things to sounds, textures, smells, tastes...

the sun is setting like a white wine after a bite of chicken.
her eyes are soft like cotton candy on a warm humid day right after a rainstorm.
the lightbulb is bright and hot like a prickly pear plant leaf.

the sofa is deep dark sultry red, like an unexpected but long overdue long wet lip-locking kiss from the girl next door.

her hair is like a soft tender tickle across your curvey hip.

you have to use descriptions that make sense to the person you are talking to. I would think the more you know the person, the better you'll be able to describe things to them, and naturally, what is important to you in the description will not be so important to them.

have fun! it really shows how universal language is, how different each living condition is.

embrace difference.
