It also has a color palette for all 1200 cents in all 3 color modes.

Color Scheme E

Color scheme E

Color scheme E is a tentative color scheme to use for prime harmonics and potentially other intervals on the wiki. It aligns with various strong consensus opinions about the colors associated with primes (most notably, "7 is blue"). It is based on Hojo Minori's color scheme, in that it defines a gradient to be used throughout the octave and pulls colors from that.

The "neutral" color is to be used for background colors of e.g. text boxes, tables, etc.

The hex codes for Color Scheme E for the first 11 primes are the following. Note the extremely similar shades associated with 7, 29, and 31.

Prime Color Color (Neutral)

Color scheme E.a3

This variation of color scheme E intend to give the primes in the upper region of the octave more distinct colors. It is the current color scheme used on the wiki.

Color scheme E.b1

Tristan Bay's prime harmonic color scheme E.b1 is similar to that of the original color scheme E. In this scheme, the base colors are all full-saturation except for the first and last ones, and all colors for primes up to 31 were picked manually. It also has a color palette for all 1200 cents in all 3 color modes.

Color schemes E.c

These variations of color scheme E were created by Lériendil in May 2026 to provide reasonably distinctive colors out to the 53-limit. These tables will consider odd primes only; colors for 2 and the higher primes are unchanged from color scheme E.a3.

Tuning error color scheme

A color scheme for tuning error in relative cents.

Vector's proposal

0.0 <4 <9 <16 <25 <36 >36

The magenta color is used for the perfectly in-tune interval, usually the equave.

Vector's 2nd proposal

Relative error

0.0 <3 <7 <11 <16 <25 <36 >36

Absolute error

0.0 >300 <300 <150 <75 <38 <18.8 <9.4 <4.7 <2.34 <1.17 <0.59 <0.293
<0.146 <0.073 <0.037 <0.0183 <0.0092 <0.0046 <0.00229 <0.00114 <0.00057 <0.00029 <0.00014 <0.00007

Tristan's proposal

The relative error table colors are based off the ones from Vector's 2nd proposal.
