The chromat temperament has a period of 1/3 octave and tempers out the hemimage (10976/10935) and the triwellisma (235298/234375). It is also described as an amity extension with third-octave period.

29-limit
By observing that 1\20 works as 30/29~29/28~28/27 (with 29/28 being especially accurate) and by equating 29/22 with 2\5 = 240 ¢ we get a uniquely elegant extension to the 29-limit which tempers (33/25)/(29/22) = 726/725, S28 = 784/783 and S29 = 841/840. An edo as large as 220 supports it by patent val, though it doesn't appear in the optimal ET sequence, and 80edo and 140edo are both much more recommendable tunings.

By equating 37/28 with 2\5 and more accurately 85/74 with 1\5 and 44/37 with 1\4 (among many other equivalences) we get an extension to prime 37 agreeing with many (semi)convergents.

no-31's 41-limit
By equating 60/41~41/28 with 11\20 or equivalently 56/41~41/30 with 9\20 and by equating 44/41 with 1\10 (among many other equivalences) there is a very efficient extension to prime 41.
By looking at the mapping, we observe an 80-note MOS scale is ideal, so that 80edo is in some sense both a trivial and maximally efficient tuning of this temperament.
We also observe an abundance of JI interpretations of 20edo by combining primes so that all things require 3 generators, yielding:
37:44:54:56:58:60:69:74:82:85
Alternatively, combining primes so that all things require 2 generators yields 36:40:46:51 which except for intervals of 51 is contained implicitly in the above.
The ratios therein should thus be instructive for how the structure of 20edo relates to its representation of JI in Degrees. Note that prime 47 can be added but only really makes sense in rooted form in 140edo.

Squarschmidt
A generator for the squarschimidt temperament is the fourth root of 5/2, (5/2)1/4, tuned around 396.6 cents. The squarschimidt temperament can be described as 118&239 temperament, tempering out the hemimage comma and quasiorwellisma, 29360128/29296875 in the 7-limit. In the 11-limit, 118&239 tempers out 3025/3024, 5632/5625, and 12005/11979, and the generator represents ~44/35.
