Pinkan adds the 19/10 major seventh to the mix to form a fundamental over-5 tetrad of 10:13:15:19, whose bright, fruity and tropical sound might recall the idyllic landscapes of Pinkan Island and its namesake berry. By contrast, utonal takes on this chord sound ~~dark and stormy~~, ~~perhaps~~ recalling the whirlpools that surround the island. Given the added complexity involved in building its chords, Pinkan may benefit from a "constrained melody, free harmony" approach, where a scale of lower cardinality like (5 or 9) is used for melody, but resides within a larger gamut of tones (like 24 or 29) that allow for facile use of the expanded harmony.

By contrast, utonal takes on this chord, while still somewhat bright due to the bounding 19/10, have a more turbulent and "swirling" sound, recalling the whirlpools that surround the island.

The combination of 676/675 and 1216/1215 also implies yet another essential tempering comma of [[1521/1520]], the pinksma.
