Clavier LumiresThe clavier a lumieres was a musical instrument invented by Scriabin for use in his work . However, it was never built in his lifetime. The instrument was supposed to be a keyboard, with notes corresponding to colors as given by Scriabin's synesthetic system. Scriabin assigned the following colors to the following notes: | Color | | red | | # | violet or purple | | yellow | | # | gray | | sky blue | | deep red | | # | bright blue | | orange | | # | lilac | | green | | # | gray | | light blue | However, when the notes are ordered by the circle of fifths, the colors are in order of a spectrum, indicating that he did not experience the physiological condition of synaesthesia, and that it was a thought out system that was influenced by his theosophic readings and based on Sir Isaac Newton's Optics: | Note | | ed | C | | range | G | | ellow | D | | reen | A | | ky blue | E | | ight blue | B | | right blue | F# | | iolet or purple | C# | | ilac | G# | | ray | D# | | ray | A# | | eep red | F |
