... However, the claims of commonalities, both among synesthetes and across synesthetes and nonsynesthetes, need to be strongly nuanced. Even if certain types of synesthesia seem to follow some common general rule (seeCohen Kadosh, Henik, & Walsh, 2007) or if specific pairings, such as between A and red or between B and blue, appear to be frequent among synesthetes, the overall repertoire of inducers and their color concurrents in the case of color– grapheme or colored–hearing synesthesia remains idiosyncratic, even within the same family or between homozygote twins (Duffy, 2001;Ortmann, 1933;Smilek, Dixon, & Merikle, 2001, 2005).
