Lolo is 1oo, triple-lu is 1u<sup>3</sup>, etc. 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. IIo notes could be called lovender, and lu notes could be called luvender. Both are "shades" of lavender.

+Temperaments are named after the color of the comma(s) they temper out. Many words are abbreviated. Large becomes la and small becomes sa. Double, triple, etc, become bi-, tri-, quad- and quin-. Sextuple is tribi-, and septuple is sep-. Eleven-fold is le- = "e'''<u>l</u>'''even '''<u>e</u>'''xponent".
 [[Meantone]] is the Gu temperament. [[Srutal]] is Sagugu. [[Porcupine]] is Triyo. Some multi-comma temperaments have multiple commas in their name, and some don't. [[Meantone family#Septimal meantone|Septimal Meantone]] is Gu, but [[Meantone family#Dominant|Dominant Meantone]] is Gu & Rugu. Untempered primes are included with a plus sign. Blackwood is 5-edo + ya. The 2.3.5.7 subgroup with 81/80 tempered out is Gu + za.

 The color name of a rank-2 temperament can be used to name MOS and MODMOS scales, as in Triyo[8]. Individual modes can be named as 2nd Triyo[8], 3rd Triyo[7] b7, etc. This notation is discussed here: [[Naming Rank-2 Scales using Mode Numbers]].
