White = 3-limit, yellow = major, green = minor, blue = subminor, red = supermajor. The lattice looks like this:
Wa = white = 3-limit, yo = yellow = major, gu = green = minor, zo = blue = subminor, ru = red = supermajor. The lattice looks like this:

Notes are named wC, bE♭, etc. Triads are named after their 3rd: Cy, Gb, etc. A y chord is a major chord.

Tetrads are named Cyy, Dgr, etc. The last letter refers to either a maj 6th or a min 7th, unless otherwise specified. Here's the main 7-limit chord types:

Chord progressions: the root of each chord has a color, defaults to white. C -- Am -- F -- G would be Cy -- yAg -- Fy -- Gy. The I, IV and V chords are assumed to have white roots unless otherwise specified, so Iy -- yVIg -- IVy -- Vy.
