Hi Ron,
Answer this question,
If there is no key color in ET why do composers change key at all during a
composition ie the trio in a march or a step or half step at the end of a
composition or section?

Hi back to you, Joe

Maybe I was too muddy, but that was the point I was attempting to make, ET 
is full of key colors, just arranged chromatically, instead of in a circle 
of fifths arrangement.  I just keep hearing people express ET as somehow 
being equal sounding.....in all keys... it just isn't so.
