The superparticular interval 28/27 (also small septimal chroma or septimal third-tone) has the seventh triangular number as a numerator and is the difference between 15/14 and 10/9, 9/8 and 7/6, 9/7 and 4/3, 3/2 and 14/9, 12/7 and 16/9, and 9/5 and 28/15.

Although called a chroma for its proximity (and conflation in systems like septimal meantone) with the classic chroma 25/24, 28/27 is a diatonic semitone in both Helmholtz-Ellis notation and Functional Just System because it is 64/63 smaller than the Pythagorean minor second 256/243. Hence, it may be described as the septimal minor second or subminor second if treated as an interval in its own right. This is analogous to the septimal major second 8/7, which has the same relationship with 9/8, and such classification suggests the function of a strong leading tone added to the traditional harmony.
