There aren't too many books on the subject of polychromy and accurate reconstruction based on checking for pigment residue, but it might be a relatively new science, still they seem to be moving very slowly on the matter and seem satisfied by the lie of colorless, unpainted, sculptures, as if color is something of our times, like the transition from black and white film to color. Also the colors used for the costumes in black and white film is of interest to me.
I noticed a trend in history to keep suggesting periods that lack much of anything when they don't have records or simply don't want to look at them, creating false dark ages and periods which appear almost post apocalyptic, even though no such sudden changes occurred. Many artists tend to make things as dull as they possibly can, during all phases, and that might really just be for the sake of clear, repeatable designs, but doesn't tell the truth. The falsehood is then transferred to people reading these things and looking at the images, presented as truth, and then defended as if dogma. Peoplle talking about color and all the details are pushed to the fringes and mainly ignored.
This sort of thing may be difficult to trace or keep track of:

Maybe this is how things really are.
What the game and these videos probably have in common are the human desperation for resources acquired in low effort ways, but in any way at all if necessary, which is the true terror and the dread of death that permeates most life and experienced time.
