Every prime above 3 has two colors, an '''over''' color (prime in the numerator) and an '''under''' color (prime in the denominator). Over colors end with -o, and under colors end with -u. The color for 3-limit ends in -a for '''all''', which includes over (3/2, 9/8), under (4/3, 16/9) and neither (1/1, 2/1). | Every prime above 3 has two colors, an '''over''' color (prime in the numerator) and an '''under''' color (prime in the denominator).

The colors come in a red-yellow-green-blue rainbow, with warm/cool colors indicating sharp/flat intervals. The rainbow of 3rds runs 9/7 - 5/4 - 6/5 - 7/6. Colors are abbreviated as w, y, z, etc. Use z (azure) not b (blue), because b already means flat. Mnemonic: Z looks like 7 with an extra line on the bottom. | The colors come in a red-yellow-green-blue rainbow, with warm/cool colors indicating sharp/flat intervals.
