Can you give me an example of how, even in principle, this would work?

In general, I would suggest as much looking at sensory experiences that vary among humans; there's already enough interesting material there without wondering if there are even other differences. Can we explain enough interesting things about the difference between normal hearing and pitch perfect hearing without talking about qualia?

Once we've done that, are we still interested in discussing qualia in color?
