400{{cent}} is the most commonly used approximation to [[5/4]], mainly due to its use in [[12edo]]. This interval is also expressed as [[3edo|1\3]], and its square root on the logarithmic scale, ≈692.82{{cent}} (hereinafter expressed as 1\√3 for convenience), functions as an approximation of [[3/2]]. Furthermore, the interval divided into √3 equal parts with 1\√3 as the center{{clarify}} is ≈985.641¢, which works as an approximation of [[7/4]] or [[9/5]], and the [[tetrad]] that combines these is 4:5:6:7, the so-called It will be the minor 7th{{clarify}}. Applying this property, the scale that is created as a result of recursively dividing those intervals furthermore twice is redbull.

Most of the notes on this scale are irrational numbers in both cent and frequency units, so redbull cannot be reproduced with an [[edo]]. Also, since there is no interval that can be called a generator, it is also impossible to approximate redbull with a [[mos scale]]. Also, since there is no interval that can be called a generator, and it varies even by one step­{{clarify}}, there are many intervals within redbull that approximate [[just intonation]], just like [[afdo]]s.
