start by mentioning first how 250/243 is close to 24edo step, then explain chromium

If we do not temper out this interval and instead use it as an identity of some sort, it serves as the period in the [[chromium]] temperament, where it is mapped to 1/24th of the octave - exact quarter-tone or half a standard semitone. Thus in the framework of this temperament and the tuning systems associated with it, [[Eliora]] proposes the name ''chromium quartertone''.  
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. Thus in the framework of this temperament and the tuning systems associated with it, [[Eliora]] proposes the name ''chromium quartertone''.
