- Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian,
Those are modes, not scale. Formed by changing which note you start with in a musical scale.

Modes are still scales.
Modes are still scales.
Maybe colloquially, but 'scale' is being used meaning several things at once here. They are built on the diatonic scale, which is a subset of the chromatic scale. To offer dorian or ionian as an alternative to the chromatic scale is nonsense.
Worse, none of this has to do with pitch. You can say A=420 and build a chromatic scale using it.
