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.
| Prime | Color | Color (Neutral) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | EEEEEE | 888888 |
| 3 | EA4335 | BB4E45 |

Color scheme E.a1
These variations of color scheme E intend to give the primes in the upper region of the octave more distinct colors. Color scheme E.a does so at the expense of 17 and 19 and was proposed by Leriendil.
| Prime | Color | Color (Neutral) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | EEEEEE | 888888 |
| 3 | BA2C00 | AC5F4F |
| 5 | 83FE35 | 97CE69 |
| 7 | 2D00AE | 5F4FA6 |
| 11 | EEF400 | C9C44F |
| 13 | 7700A0 | 854F9F |
| 17 | 58E7FE | 7BC8CE |
| 19 | 50FFAC | 77CF9F |
| 23 | D59100 | BA904F |
| 29 | 0007C8 | 4F59B3 |
| 31 | 0C91FE | 55A0CE |
Color scheme E.a2
This is Vector's modification of E.a1 which attempts to fix the issue with 17 and 19, as well as provide a darker neutral color scheme for use behind both black and white text.
| Prime | Color | Color (Neutral) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | EEEEEE | 888888 |
| 3 | BA2C00 | 8F4933 |
| 5 | 83FE35 | 669648 |
| 7 | 3100AB | 5D41A3 |
| 11 | EEF400 | 888A30 |
| 13 | 7900A0 | 713585 |
| 17 | 58AAC7 | 618592 |
| 19 | 50FFAC | 559A79 |
| 23 | D59100 | 886C2F |
| 29 | 0006A5 | 4E51B1 |

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.
