Light organ)
The clavier a lumieres was a musical instrument invented by Scriabin for use in his work Prometheus: Poem of Fire. 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:
| Note | Color
|
| C | red
|
| C# | violet or purple
|
| D | yellow
|
| D# | gray
|
| E | sky blue
|
| F | deep red
|
| F# | bright blue
|
| G | orange
|
| G# | lilac
|
| A | green
|
| A# | gray
|
| B | 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:
| Color | Note
|
| red | C
|
| orange | G
|
| yellow | D
|
| green | A
|
| sky blue | E
|
| light blue | B
|
| bright blue | F#
|
| violet or purple | C#
|
| lilac | G#
|
| gray | D#
|
| gray | A#
|
| deep red | F
