Not to be a downer in a feelgood thread but they aren't "seeing color" for the first time. The glasses work by blocking segments of the spectrum where their existing color perception overlaps making it much easier to differentiate colors previously very difficult for them to perceive. It may feel like they are seeing the colors they lack but that isn't what is happening.
I don't doubt that it is a profound emotional experience for them nonetheless.
