→Chromatic Mediants
=== Chromatic Mediants ===
As we saw [E_Minor,_D_Minor,_and_A_Minor_Chords|earlier], the mediant chord is a third above the tonic and the submediant is a third below. Depending on the key, this could be a minor or major third.
''Chromatic Mediants'' are non-diatonic mediant or submediant chords for the given key. This is done by using the mediant/submediant of the parallel minor/major key, using the parallel chord (changing the quality of the chord from major to minor or vice versa), or both.
