The Saju view
Colton begins with a back-of-the-throat sound, so its leading sound counts as wood. Colton is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Colton, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. If fire is already strong in a chart, Colton ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
