By a //chromatic pair// is meant a pair of [[xenharmonic/MOSScales|MOS]] in some rank two temperament (which may often be a [[xenharmonic/Just intonation subgroups|subgroup temperament]]) in which the smaller of the pair is analogous to Meantone[7], the diatonic scale, and the larger to Meantone[12], the chromatic scale. Because on a standard keyboard the smaller scale is given by the white keys, the smaller scale of the pair is called "albitonic" from the Latin word for "white". Also included at times are "haplotonic" scales, which are the analogs of Meantone[5]. The pair temperaments are listed in order of increasing [[Tp tuning|T2 error]], which is an appropriate error measure for subgroups as well as full p-limit groups.
