In Explaining Consciousness, chapter 2, p. 28, Dennett says there is no purple in the brain when we see purple. That may be what he means.

Here is a full quote that makes clear in exactly what sense he doesn't believe in qualia:
Originally in Quining Qualia, 1988, by Dennett, and quoted on Multiple-Drafts Model.
