			For the Fokker block concept of chroma, see [[Fokker block]].

	The '''chroma''' of an [[MOS scale]] is the interval that is the difference between the large step and the small step in the scale. For example, in the diatonic scale the large step is the major second (C-D) and the small step is the minor second (C-Db). The difference between those two intervals is the augmented unison (C-C#). The term was suggested as a way to generalize the concept of a sharp or flat (# or b).
