'''25/24''', the '''just chromatic semitone''', '''classic(al) chromatic semitone''' or '''diptolemaic chromatic semitone''' (short: '''chroma'''), 70.672{{cent}}, is the [[superparticular]] ratio which marks the difference between the [[5-limit]] seconds, [[16/15]] and [[10/9]], [[27/25]] and [[9/8]], thirds, [[6/5]] and [[5/4]], sixths, [[8/5]] and [[5/3]], and sevenths, [[16/9]] and [[50/27]], and [[9/5]] and [[15/8]] . It is therefore the amount which sharpens or flattens a 5-limit second, third, sixth, or seventh, and when notating 5-limit just intonation it can be associated with the sharp or flat symbol, and along with an additional symbol for the [[81/80]] comma, it can be used for a complete system of [[5-limit]] notation.

If 25/24 is treated as a comma to be tempered out, you remove the distinction between major and minor thirds and get only a single neutral interval in their place as in [[dicot family]], and edos like [[10edo]] or 17edo.
If 25/24 is treated as a comma to be tempered out, it may be called the '''dicot comma'''. Doing so leads to the [[dicot]] temperament, where the distinction between major and minor thirds are removed and get only a single neutral interval in their place, as in [[7edo]] and [[10edo]]. See [[dicot family]] for the rank-2 family where it is tempered out.
