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.
