This actually makes me wonder something: I'm guessing I'm not a tetrachromat (though it'd be fun to take a test), but there are some colors I see in my synesthesia that I cannot duplicate outside my head. They're all sorts of bizarre combinations of colors I do see, so I didn't think of them as new colors, but now I'm wondering about that.
There was a synesthete case study who was color blind (they didn't specify what kind of color blindness) and claimed that some of his synesthetic visions were in "Martian colors." So I guess it's more evidence for the wiring.
