Actually, there's a proof that this is false that I just thought of.

If someone is colour-blind such that they can't distinguish red from green, they literally can't experience a red object on a green background.

This generalises into a multitude of equivalent cases, and many more. If someone doesn't have the right wiring in their amygdala, they can't experience fear, etc., etc.

In general, the range of experiences you are capable of is limited by the structure of your mind and associated sensory apparatus.
