'''400/399''', the '''devichroma''' is a [[19-limit]] (also 2.3.5.7.19 [[subgroup]]) [[superparticular]] [[comma]] of about 4.33 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between undevicesimal chroma, [[20/19]] and large septimal chroma, [[21/20]], and between the subfourths [[21/16]] and [[25/19]]. By tempering it out is defined the '''devichromic temperament''', which enables the [[devichromic chords]]. | '''400/399''', the '''devichroma''' is a [[19-limit]] (also 2.3.5.7.19 [[subgroup]]) [[superparticular]] [[comma]] of about 4.33 [[cent]]s.
