Kite's color notation: Difference between revisions
Made the english "sounds-like" words actual english words, otherwise what's the point? Added "yo" so that people who don't know IPA aren't misled by "yo = /jo/". Deleted mysterious "whatever rhotic" term since I couldn't find a definition online anywhere. Deleted "<y> is pronounced..." sentence, it's out of place, also "yo = /jo/ = ("yo")" and "ru = /ru/" make it unneeded. Removed tangential reference to Spanish and Italian. Restored several valid edits, please use caution when undoing edits! |

The colors make a red-yellow-green-blue rainbow, with warm/cool colors indicating sharp/flat intervals. The rainbow of 3rds runs {{dash|9/7, 5/4, 6/5, 7/6}}. Colors are abbreviated as '''w''', '''y''', '''g''', '''z''', and '''r'''. Use z (azure or Spanish/Portuguese azul), not b (blue), because b already means flat. Mnemonic: Z looks like 7 with an extra line on the bottom. | The colors make a red-yellow-green-blue rainbow, with warm/cool colors indicating sharp/flat intervals.
