250/243 is known as the porcupine comma or the maximal diesis. Measuring about 49 ¢, it is a medium comma. It is the amount by which two minor whole tones exceed a minor third, that is, (10/9)2/(6/5). It is also the difference between 25/24 and 81/80, the two smallest 5-limit superparticular ratios, and between three syntonic commas and the Pythagorean apotome, putting it on the Syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum.
Temperaments
Tempering it out leads to the 5-limit porcupine temperament. See porcupine family for the family of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out.
Approximation
250/243 is very close to one step of 24edo, which is the quarter tone that is exactly the half of 12edo semitone. Therefore, if 250/243 is not tempered and instead is treated as an identity where it is equated with 1/24th of the octave, it serves as the period in the chromium temperament. (However, note that 24edo itself maps 250/243 inconsistently, and so chromium temperament starts at 72edo.) Thus in the framework of this temperament and the tuning systems associated with it, Eliora proposes the name chromium quartertone.
