			== History ==
			The first mention of the term "chroma" occurs in Marchettus of Padua<ref>Marchettus of Padua (1318) ''Lucidarium''.</ref> where he describes it as an interval smaller than the diatonic semitone. The exact nature of the interval he was describing is debated.<ref>Joe Monzo (2008) ''Speculations on Marchetto of Padua's "Fifth-Tones"''. http://www.tonalsoft.com/monzo/marchetto/marchetto.aspx</ref>

			In psychoacoustics, the term ''chroma'' refers to the circular perception of pitch with respect to [[octave equivalence]].
			This is essentially the same as the concept of [[pitch class]].
