This is a 10 section step wedge to allow you to check that you have a full chromatic scale

Stand back, defocus your eyes (so that the screen appears blurry).
Use the slider to match the gray on the right with the gray on the left.

Note: If you do not see a split gray box with a slider on the right you must set your browser
JAVA permission to Medium.
