Shades of meaning

Fernald has no entry of its own for inharmonious; he lists it under incongruous.

Where he writes about it:

Two or more things that do not fit well together, or are not adapted to each other, are said to be incongruous; a thing is said to be incongruous that is not adapted to the time, place, or occasion; the term is also applied to a thing made up of ill-assorted parts or inharmonious elements. — from incongruous
Discordant is applied to all things that jar in association like musical notes that are not in accord; inharmonious has the same original sense, but is a milder term. — from incongruous
