Wouldn't it be interesting if, culturally, we more often hear brass timbres than string timbres when we are by a saturated blue ocean or looking at a bright blue sky (tense action scenes in movies, on horn parts in the latin-themed soundtracks to our summer vacations)? Then presumably someone with the capacity for synesthesia could be statistically more likely to develop the specific synesthesia in question.
It's virtually impossible to be quantitative about any of that, of course.
There's fMRI research being done on synesthesia [1], but I'm unaware of any studies that go into the exact correlation between specific colors and specific timbres.
