Note
A regular -s plural that serves every countable meaning of the noun: people with an innate talent, musical notes free of any accidental, and the ♮ signs that mark them. The off-white color behaves as a mass noun and rarely takes it. In older writing, naturals can also mean native inhabitants, or simpletons and fools. Both uses are now archaic, so read the context before taking the word as praise.
