But keep in mind what's color and what's setting. "A city with a big gap between rich and poor" is the setting. "18th-century London," as such, is color. A bunch of individual places like Tyburn Road, Newgate Prison, the Red Rose - they're color.
"I'm lurching in a cart on Tyburn Road, drunk and bound, with rotten fruit on my clothing and pus in my mouth, and you're watching me pass by with a mix of regret and disgust, but a pocketful of coins" - that's a colorful expression of how you and I are situated relative to one another and the city.
In fact, Tyburn Road, Newgate Prison, the Red Rose, take them to be primarily situation color, not setting color - they're colorful ways to describe where we are, how we're situated, in the city and relative to one another.
I don't have any idea if I'm making sense to you. I wish I had a better idea why you're asking.

Whenever a gamer says "setting" in reference to printed material in a game text, especially in reference to the quantity thereof, you can be confident that the whole conversation is nonsense. Nonsense from a Big Model perspective that is - they might be talking about something, but it ain't the elements of exploration.
