Claim One:
1. A method for organizing and developing a multipigment color chart for the production and reproduction of any and all colors based on at least five basic colors (m) and any chosen number (n) of subdivisions therebetween comprising developing a two dimensional array of a plurality of planar triangular groupings of distinct color points wherein the apices of each triangular grouping represents the color extremes of said groupings and the remaining color points within said grouping are arranged in equidistant transitional color intervals between said apices and between the apices of any sub-triangles definable within the groupings, said groupings representing planar cuts of an m-1 dimensional pyramid the apices of which pyramid represent the basic colors chosen; and assigning to each color point in said array a composite coordinate value having a number of component coordinates equal to the number of basic colors used and representing the absolute amount of each basic color component of said color point, wherein the sum of all composite coordinate values for each point within the array is equal.
