== Color Names for Higher Primes ==

Colors for primes greater than 7 are named after the number itself:

Colors for primes greater than 7 are named after the number itself, using the prefix i- for disambiguation as needed:

'''ilo''' = 11-over, '''lu''' = 11-under, and '''la''' = 11-all = 2.3.11. (ilo not lo, because "lo C" sounds like "low C".) ilo and lu are abbreviated to '''1o''' and '''1u''' on the score and in interval names and chord names, e.g. ilo A = 1oA, ilo 4th = 1o4 = 11/8 and C ilo-7 = C1o7 = 1/1 - 11/9 - 3/2 - 11/6. The associated color is lavender (mnemonic: "e-leven-der"), which refers to both ilo and lu, since they are only 7.1¢ apart. Lavender is a '''pseudocolor''' that implies the [http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?ets=24_17&limit=2_3_11 Neuter] temperament. ilo notes could be called lovender, and lu notes could be called luvender. Both are "shades" of lavender.

'''Tho''' = 13-over, '''thu''' = 13-under, and '''tha''' = 13-all. Tho and thu are abbreviated as '''3o''' and '''3u''' on the score and in interval names, e.g. 13/8 = 3o6 = tho 6th. Languages without a "th" sound use '''tro''', '''tru''' and '''tra'''.
