But literally, the term chromatic means &#8220;colorful&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Now you may be wondering how chords that are outside the prevalent key will be colorful. Well, here&#8217;s a quick answer:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The notes in the key resonate with the key and sound regular. But when a note (or notes) that are foreign to the prevalent key are introduced, they sound exotic and colorful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, if you want the 2-chord to be spicier, here&#8217;s your chance.<\/p>\n<h3>Substitute #1 &#8211; The Dominant Ninth Chord<\/h3>\n<p>The dominant ninth chord is topping the list maybe because it&#8217;s my favorite. But beyond that, it is also important to note that in the late 90s and 2000s, the dominant ninth chord had a special place in gospel harmony.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you love the gospel music of this era, then you&#8217;ll definitely love the dominant ninth chord of the second tone of the scale. In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=FFCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the dominant ninth chord of the second tone of the scale (which is the D dominant ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,Fs,A,C,E,&amp;color=FFCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Using Voicing Techniques We Can Rearrange The Dominant Ninth Chord&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Check out other voicings of the D dominant ninth chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Voicing #1:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,Fs,C,E,A,&amp;color=FFCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #2:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,Fs,A,C,E,&amp;color=FFCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #3:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,C,Fs,A,E&amp;color=FFCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #4:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,C,E,Fs,A,&amp;color=FFCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Substitute #2 &#8211; The Half-Diminished Seventh Chord<\/h3>\n<p>The half-diminished seventh chord can be borrowed from the parallel minor key.
