    You can’t describe qualia (at all, including color), but you can explain how different wavelengths are perceived by the eye and compare it to wavelengths of sound.

      Qualia eh? I was calling them “sensations”. Thanks for the word.

      I suppose you can’t describe any sensation/qualia. You can only refer to other sensations (in memory or with words or etc) and say “it’s like that”.
