In [[just intonation]], '''41503/41472''' is the comma between three [[8/7]]'s (693.522 cents) and two [[11/9]]'s (694.816 cents), measuring 1.294 cents<ref>Gayle Young, "The Pitch Organization of ''Harmonium for James Tenney''", Perspectives of New Music, vol. 26, no. 2, summer 1988, pp. 204–12.

In [[just intonation]], '''41503/41472''', the '''argyria''', is the [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] (specifically [[2.3.7.11 subgroup|2.3.7.11-]][[subgroup]]) [[comma]] between three [[8/7]]'s (693.522 cents) and two [[11/9]]'s (694.816 cents), measuring 1.294 cents<ref>Gayle Young, "The Pitch Organization of ''Harmonium for James Tenney''", Perspectives of New Music, vol. 26, no. 2, summer 1988, pp. 204–12. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/833190</ref> and casually once referred to as "the '''tinge'''"<ref>Gayle Young, private e-mail to Todd Harrop, 24 June 2018.</ref>. It is the difference of [[1029/1024]] and [[243/242]] and therefore is the [[Don Page comma]] between the intervals [[11/9]] and [[8/7]]; in terms of [[S-expression]]s, this translates to (S7/S8)/(S9/S11), and by virtue of the equivalence ([[36/35]] = S6) = ([[64/63]] = S8)⋅([[81/80]] = S9), also to ([[121/120]] = S11)/([[1728/1715]] = S6/S7).


It factors into two superparticular commas: [[2401/2400]] × [[3025/3024]].  
It is also the difference of [[385/384]] and [[540/539]]. Those two ratios make up [[225/224]]. Therefore, tempering it out guarantees that 225/224 is split into two, each for 385/384~540/539.  


It factors into two superparticular commas: ([[2401/2400]])⋅([[3025/3024]]).
== Temperaments ==
[[Tempering out]] this comma in the full 11-limit results in the rank-4 argyric temperament (→ [[Catalog of rank-4 temperaments #Argyric (41503/41472)]]), and in the 2.3.7.11 subgroup, the rank-3 argyrian temperament.
== Etymology ==
This comma was named the argyria by [[Lériendil]] in 2024, on the pattern of the [[olympia]] and alongside the [[elysia]], after Argyre Planitia on Mars.
