There's actually a reason to know if the colors you see are different from what others see. Me not seeing colors the same as my wife, yet passing color blindness tests, is what prompted my optometrist to test for a rare degenerative genetic condition called cone-rod dystrophy (which I have).

I have never heard of that before. That’s an interesting condition.

To be fair it sounds like it’s not technically a difference in qualia that was noticed but a difference in the properties of qualia. Still the main point remains. You were able to notice a difference, doctors were able to measure the difference, and we made a word for the condition.
