Default TV Licence

Does anyone know why the blind have to pay more for a colour TV licence
than a black and white TV licence?

TV Licensing charges the blind £71.25 a year to use a colour TV and £24
a year to use a B&W TV

I imagine because having a blind person in the household allows the
household to get a cheap licence. Everybody in the household gets the
benefit of the concession.

I suspect that very few completely blind people live on their own.
