But, where does the color red come from? The actual first person experience of seeing red. Not eyes seeing a specific wavelength, but your mind seeing red.

What I find so frustrating in these conversations is exactly this mismatch. There's nothing special about the wavelength that creates the color red, but the color red is completely distinct from that. They're barely even related!
