I would pass at any color, even if the AQ of spades was moved to clubs
and the 4th diamond was made a heart.

I see little chance for game, with even

x
Axxxxx
xxx
xxx

opposite the hand changed to

xxx
Kxxx
AKx
AQx

where you could easily be off 1 spade, 1 diamond, and 2 clubs and
that's a perfect fitting hand.  Put it opposite

AQx
Kxx
AKxx
xxx

and you might lose 3 clubs and 1 trick in each red suit in 3h unless
they lead a spade.

So you are basically looking at a partial versus partial at each
table.  Since they have the spades, I'll go quietly.  I would not
expect -110 to lose the match.
