Misty family
- This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.
The misty family tempers out the misty comma (monzo: [26 -12 -3⟩, ratio: 67108864/66430125).
Misty
Misty features a third-octave period, which represents the ptolemaic diminished fourth (512/405). Four perfect fourths (i.e. a minor sixth, ~128/81) minus a period give the interval class of 5. Misty has a ploidacot of triploid monocot, and equates the Pythagorean comma with a stack of three schismas, making it a member of the schismic–Pythagorean equivalence continuum with n = 3.

Overview to extensions
The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at.
- Adding 3136/3125 (hemimean) leads to septimal misty.
- Adding 225/224 (marvel) leads to fog.
Septimal misty
Septimal misty tempers out not only 3136/3125 and 5120/5103, but 250047/250000, mapping ~63/50 to the 1/3-octave period. It can be described as 12 & 99, and finds 7/4 by 5/4 plus six extra fourths octave reduced. 99edo makes for an excellent tuning, and 87edo and 111edo are notable alternatives.
It extends best to the no-11 no-13 19-limit, where the ~16/15 stands in for ~17/16, and the ~25/21, a fifth minus a period, stands in for ~19/16. The S-expression-based comma list for the 2.3.5.7.17-subgroup extension is {(S8/S9), S15/S17, S16, S18/S20, (S50)}, and for the 2.3.5.7.17.19-subgroup extension, {(S8/S9), S16, S18, S20, S17/S19, (S50)}.

Murky
Murky (87 & 99ef) tempers out 441/440 and 896/891, which joins misty with parapyth/pele.
This extension used to be known as undecimal misty, but was decanonicalized in 2026 in favor of the no-11 no-13 temperament.
