Scale: C neopolitan major pentatonic
Description: A pentatonic derived from the Neapolitan major scale (which has 1, ♭2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), typically selecting 1, ♭2, 3, 5, 6. It overlays a strong flat-2 'Neapolitan' colour on otherwise major harmony and appears in contemporary jazz and film-score language that references late-Romantic chromaticism.
