Colors for primes > 7 are named after the number itself:

'''Lova''' = 11-over, '''lu''' = 11-under, '''la''' = 11-all. (Lova not lo, ~~to distinguish~~ lo ~~from low, as in~~ "low C".) Lova and lu are abbreviated to '''1o''' and '''1u''' in interval names and chord names, e.g. lova 4th = 1o4 = 11/8 and C1o7 = 1/1 - 11/9 - 3/2 - 11/6. The associated color is lavender (mnemonic: "e-leven-der"), which refers to both lova and lu, since they are only 7.1¢ apart (e.g. lo 3rd = 11/9 and lu 3rd = 27/22). ~~Lova~~ notes are lovender, and lu notes are luvender.

'''Lova''' = 11-over, '''lu''' = 11-under, '''la''' = 11-all. (Lova not lo, because "lo C" sounds like "low C".) Lova and lu are abbreviated to '''1o''' and '''1u''' in interval names and chord names, e.g. lova 4th = 1o4 = 11/8 and C lova-7 = C1o7 = 1/1 - 11/9 - 3/2 - 11/6. The associated color is lavender (mnemonic: "e-leven-der"), which refers to both lova and lu, since they are only 7.1¢ apart (e.g. lo 3rd = 11/9 and lu 3rd = 27/22). More precisely, lova notes are lovender, and lu notes are luvender.

'''Tho''' = 13-over, '''thu''' = 13-under, '''tha''' = 13-all. Tho and thu are abbreviated to '''3o''' and '''3u''' in interval names and chord names, e.g. 13/8 = 3o6 = tho 6th.

Line 54:

'''So''' = 17-over, '''su''' = 17-under, '''sa''' = 17-all, abbreviated as '''17o''' and '''17u'''. '''Sova''' is an alternate form of so, to distinguish it from the solfege syllable Sol.

'''Nova''' = 19-over, '''nunda''' = 19-under, '''Na''' = 19-all, abbreviated as '''19o''' and '''19u'''. Nova because "no 3rd" could mean either 19/16 or thirdless. Nunda because "the nu key" sounds like "the new key".

'''Nova''' = 19-over, '''nunda''' = 19-under, '''na''' = 19-all, abbreviated as '''19o''' and '''19u'''. Nova because "no 3rd" could mean either 19/16 or thirdless. Nunda because "the nu key" sounds like "the new key".

'''Twenty-tho''' = 23-over, '''twenty-thu''' = 23-under, '''twenty-tha''' =23-all, abbreviated as '''23o''' and '''23u.'''

'''Twenty-tho''' = 23-over, '''twenty-thu''' = 23-under, '''twenty-tha''' =23-all, abbreviated as '''23o''' and '''23u'''.

'''Twenty-no~~'''~~ / ~~'''twenty~~-nu~~'''~~ / ~~'''twenty~~-na''' = 29, '''thirty-wo~~'''~~ / ~~'''thirty~~-wu~~'''~~ / ~~'''thirty~~-wa''' = 31, '''thirty-so~~'''~~ / ~~'''thirty~~-su~~'''~~ / ~~'''thirty~~-sa''' = 37, etc.

'''Twenty-no/-nu/-na''' = 29, '''thirty-wo/-wu/-wa''' = 31, '''thirty-so/-su/-sa''' = 37, etc.

The alternate forms with -ova or -unda are only needed when the color word appears alone. Thus 11/7 = loru 5th, not lovaru 5th.
