I don't have perfect pitch, just a decently trained ear, but your questions make me want to ask "What frequency is the color orange?"
If we can easily accept that orange comes in various degrees and shades across a visual frequency spectrum, how hard is it to imagine that an A sounds like an A across an audio frequency spectrum... just a little more sharp or flat... like orange being a little more yellow or a little more red but still orange?
