I have heard of a blind man comparing red (as he had heard of it) to the sound of a trumpet.
Hmm... can a blind man possess synæsthesia? It seems possible if the source of the blindness is in the eye rather than the brain.
More likely color-words as concepts exist in the brains of blind people because there are interestingly different distributions of other directly meaningful concepts associated in proximity with others' usage of the color-words, and with actual objects in the world (presuming that their color is sometimes described to you).
I think Richard put this very well when he said "as he had heard of it".
Probably. A color-blind person can.
