Interestingly, most synesthetes do see it as white or yellow, or a light color. My bright red is, as far as these things go, in the minority. Apparently some trends do exist, though they're pretty general.
The funniest thing is how very vehement synesthetes are with each other about these arguments--it surprised the lead researcher on it once. But then he realized ... it's because the color is such an intrinsic part of a letter that saying it's another color is like saying o isn't round, because OF COURSE IT IS.
