The Redeye scale is a [[Step variety|Ternary]] scale proposed by Michael, Wad Wizard, and Unque.  The scale is defined by the 14-note sequence sLmLsLmLsLmLsL; it has 7 large steps, 3 medium steps, and 4 small steps.

The name "Redeye" comes from a portmanteau of "Red" and "Di-," from the names of the [[Whitewood family|Redwood]] and [[Dicot]] temperaments, due to its extrema being generated by those two temperaments.  This naming scheme was originally chosen by comparison to another rank-3 scale, [[Blackdye]].
