A '''regular temperament''' is a kind of abstract musical system that looks the same no matter which pitch you start from (or consider the "tonic"). In other words, unlimited free modulation is possible - any interval can be stacked as many times as you like. Regular temperaments generally have an infinite number of notes; and other than [[equal temperament]]s, every regular temperament actually has an infinite number of notes in between ''any two other notes''! | A '''regular temperament''' is a kind of abstract musical system that looks the same no matter which pitch you start from (or consider the "tonic").

Each temperament has two names: a traditional name and a [[Color notation|color name]]. The traditional names are [[Temperament Names|arbitrary]], but the color names are systematic and rigorous, and the comma can be deduced from the color name. Wa = 3-limit, yo = 5-over, gu = 5-under, zo = 7-over, and ru = 7-under.
