alias

I'm a graphic designer trying my best to understand table aliases, but it's not working. Here's what I have so far:

SELECT colours.colourid AS colourid1, combinations.manufacturercolourid AS colourmanid1, colours.colourname AS colourname1, colours.colourhex AS colourhex1, combinations.qecolourid2 AS colouridqe2, colours.colourid AS colourid2, colours.colourname AS colourname2, colours.colourhex AS colourhex2, colours.colourid AS colourid3, combinations.qecolourid3 AS colouridqe3, colours.colourname AS colourname3, colours.colourhex AS colourhex3, colours.colourid AS colourid4, combinations.qecolourid4 AS colouridqe4, colours.colourname AS colourname4, colours.colourhex AS colourhex4, combinations.coloursupplierid FROM combinations INNER JOIN colours ON colours.colourid = combinations.manufacturercolourid;

Now, the idea is that in the colours lookup table, the id will pull the colour code, hex and name from the lookup table so that I can pull the colour code, hex and name for the 4 colours that I'm looking for. I can get this to work, but it only pulls up the first name, code and hex and I'm just not seeing what I'm doing wrong.
