Colours that go with…
Nobody searches for “combination 126”: they search for “colours that go with green”. So the book can also be read by family. Pick one and you get its colours in the dictionary, five palettes adapted to screen and measured, and the Wada combinations that use it.

No family is written by hand: each one comes from the colour itself, measured in Lab. Hue decides and, where the everyday name doesn't match it — brown is a dark, muted orange; beige a very pale one — so do lightness and saturation. That is why a colour can sit in two families and the total goes past 158.
