Orphist painting was a blend of Fauvism (colour), Cubism (fragmentary planes) and Futurism (sense of motion). In some ways it was a very early type of Lyrical Abstraction. It appealed to the senses, using overlapping planes of contrasting colours, and specific colour-combinations based on the colour theory known as the "Law of Simultaneous Contrast of Colours," pioneered by the 19th century French chemist Michel-Eugene Chevreul. Delaunay himself avoided the name Orphism, preferring the more modern Futurist-sounding term Simultanism to describe his method of capturing fleeting visual sensations. Not only did Simultanism make reference to the law of simultaneous colour contrast upon which it was based, but it was seen as a particularly apt name for a style of modern art. It is exemplified by Delaunay's paintings like The Cardiff Team (1912-13; Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven) and La Ville de Paris (1912; Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris).
