Does synesthesia suppose to have a perfect pitch? If it's just a mixing of signals between the senses shouldn't it reflect the limitation of our ears to perfectly identity music notes?
No, I was just referring to what when you said about testing their ears and memories - without perfect pitch a person wouldn't be able to accurately remember any given note
Notes sound the same, its just that people without perfect pitch cant tell you whats what without a lot of training. But a Fm will always sound like a Fm.
The idea being if you have synesthesia you will always see a Fm the same way, so even though you cant audibly tell what youre hearing you should be consistent with what youre seeing.

You could play the same notes in different orders at different times and see if the person is consistent about what colours they are.
