Based on an octave of 12 semitones, as opposed to a seven-note DIATONIC scale. A chromatic scale consists of an ascending or descending line of semitones. An instrument is said to be chromatic if throughout all or most of its compass it can produce all the semitones. Chromatic, a word ultimately derived from the Greek noun which means "complexion" or "color", and then from the Greek adjective χρωματικός (khrōmatikós; "colored"), may refer to: In music: Chromatic scale, the western-tempered twelve-tone scale.

However, if you are on the sixth note of a major scale, and go down by a minor third, then you will be going down by 3 semi tones.

How is a minor scale formed?
To turn a major scale to natural minor, lower the third, sixth, and seventh scale tones a half step.

A harmonic minor scale has a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale. A melodic minor scale has a sixth and a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale.
