I think there may be something wrong with your ‘this post’ link but I will try again later.
About red:
It seems that qualia have an independent existence. In perception a quale is ‘bound’ to an object or concept. This is seen more clearing when the binding is inappropriate as in people who bind colours to numbers and the like.
There is also at least three different ‘reds’ of a red object. There is the shade that is stored in the visual cortex for a second or two. This red distinguishes between very, very fine differences in hue. It appears to be retrieved during a frame of consciousness and accounts for how vivid consciousness is compared to memory. Then there is the shade of red stored in short term memory which is much less accurate. Finally there is the red that we can call up from the concept red and it is very generic.
