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 9 primes are the following. Note the extremely similar shades associated with 7, 29, and 31.

Color scheme E.a1

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.

Tristan's prime harmonic color scheme

Tristan Bay's prime harmonic color scheme is similar to that of color scheme E. However, the base colors are all full-saturation except for the first and last ones, and all colors were picked manually.

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
