In the the spelling the "minor or major" refers to as the triad, not the interval from root to sixth.

Very well said.


Think of 9th chords, whether you play a maj. or min. 9th the 9th is always the same. Same w/11ths and 13ths.

The minor 6th chord as a i chord would appear diatonic in Melodic minor.
