Britain’s industrial supremacy is often perceived through a black-and-white filter as the funereal age of coal pollution
and bleak, working-class slums reflected in the dark, supposedly ‘gothic’, tones we see in films, TV series, and video
games set in that period. Yet, the industrial revolution also totally transformed colour and most notably the chemical
composition of colouring materials.

Music: Etudes op. 8, no. 7 by Alexander Scriabin (1872 - 1915), who associated colour with music, possibly synesthesia,
based on the shades and theories of Sir Isaac Newton.
