The hood was either black or dark blue, and Roy couldn't see a speck of light through the heavy fabric. Blindly he stumbled and swayed through the thicket but the barefoot boy kept him from falling.

These senses were used:
sight: black or dark blue, couldn't see a speck of light
touch: air got warmer, ground beneath his feet got flat
