it would have been more convincing if they'd done more cultures, Mexico & USA
are not hugely different cultures.

This is cool, but should really be on the main tuning list. Alternatively,
I highly encourage you to check out the Xenharmonic Alliance group on
Facebook, which has been much more active lately.

as far as I have asked
some self-concerned color-pitch synaesthesists,
that weird phenomen occurs only
restricted to people that do possess absolute-pitch.
In my group at the conservatroy
all affected musicians insisted
do distinct from the other group members
in theirs private mappings of allocations,
alike in the historically controversy about that topic:

http://en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/Synesthesia#Sound_.E2.86.92_color_synesthesia

quote:
"...Individuals rarely agree on what color a given sound is (composers Liszt and Rimsky-Korsakov famously disagreed on the colors of music keys)..."

Attend especially for that particular composer
his own elaborate allocation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clavier_%C3%A0_lumi%C3%A8res

For more cases of that property,
study the further examples and links at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_organ

But:
No one of that odd attempts became ever long-lasting convincing
for an broader audience, probably due to individual
interconnections within their brains.
