249 combinations. Each one is two real objects — shown together, with their colours read straight across as a single palette. Where the second object lives is stated, so you know what to carry. Built from 327 colorimeter readings, not from looking at photographs.
The strip across the top is the proposed palette: the left object's colours running straight into the right object's, so you see the combination as one thing rather than two swatches to compare. The divider marks where one item ends and the other begins.
Beneath it are the two objects themselves. Left is the anchor — something already in place, often a floor, a wall or a piece too heavy to move. Right is what you carry to it, and the line underneath says where it currently lives.
Everything on the right is something you can physically pick up. Wood floors, wall grain, tile, concrete and drywall are classified fixed and never appear as a move — only ever as the thing you bring an object to.
Ordering follows your shortlist. Combinations where both objects sit in a colour family you named — the burnt amber, the Rain Forest green, the mustard — come first. Then strongest relationship: complementary, split-complementary, triadic, analogous, neutral ground.
