There is a special kind of "recognition of patterns in prior qualia". When I see a color, the color automatically includes in it various sub-levels: shades-of-gray, black-and-white, vividness, Self, etc. But this is not necessarily about prior qualia. It might be on an evolutionary context, in the sense that at some point some beings only saw shades-of-gray, and then a being started to see colors. But as far as my own individual consciousness is concerned, I always saw colors directly.
