The fifth (3L + M + 2S) of blackdye must be a diatonic fifth.  
The fifth (3L + M + 2S) of blackdye must be a diatonic fifth.  


(To see this: The diatonic chroma = 7 fifths - 4 octaves = 21L + 7M + 14S - (20L + 8M + 12S) = L - M + 2S. Since L - M >= 0, this must always be nonnegative, so the fifth must be >= 4\7. The diatonic[5] chroma = 3 octaves - 5 fifths = 15L + 6M + 9S - 15L - 5M - 10S = M - S >= 0, so the fifth must be <= 3\5.)
(To see this: Consider the chain of fifths generated by the fifth. The diatonic chroma = 7 fifths - 4 octaves = 21L + 7M + 14S - (20L + 8M + 12S) = L - M + 2S. Since L - M >= 0, this must always be nonnegative, so the fifth must be >= 4\7. The diatonic[5] chroma = 3 octaves - 5 fifths = 15L + 6M + 9S - 15L - 5M - 10S = M - S >= 0, so the fifth must be <= 3\5.)
