In just intonation, 41503/41472, the argyria, is the unnoticeable 11-limit comma between three 8/7's (693.522 cents) and two 11/9's (694.816 cents), measuring 1.294 cents[1] and casually once referred to as "the tinge"[2]. So it is the difference of 1029/1024 and 243/242. Besides, it is also the difference of 385/384 and 540/539. Those two ratios make up 225/224. Therefore, tempering it out guarantees that 225/224 is split into two, each for 385/384~540/539.

It factors into two superparticular commas: (2401/2400)(3025/3024).

Etymology

This comma was named the argyria by Lériendil in 2024, on the pattern of the olympia and alongside the elysia, after Argyre Planitia on Mars.
