For learning the names of the chord tones of all your chords, the major scale is the scale used.
There are 15 Major scales/keys: C , G , D , A , E , B , F♯ , C♯ , F , B♭ , E♭ , A♭ , D♭ , G♭ , C♭ . YES, fifteen (15) NOT just twelve – the three Enharmonic Equivalent scales are: B/C♭, C♯/D♭, F♯,G♭, although not common keys they are essential scales and need to be mastered.
In Western music, the Major scale is one of the most fundamental and widely used scales. It is a diatonic scale, meaning it consists of seven notes (ALL seven letters A B C D E F G) and spans an octave. The pattern of intervals between the notes of the Major scale is as follows: Whole – Whole – Half – Whole – Whole – Whole – Half Or, in terms of semitones (half–steps): 2 – 2 – 1 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 1
The result for the C Major scale, is the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. • the white keys of a standard piano.
The Major scale has a bright and happy sound, and it serves as the basis for many melodies, harmonies, and chord progressions in Western music. Each note in the Major scale can be associated with a specific degree or number, which forms the basis for understanding music theory, chord construction, and key relationships.

Simple and Compound Intervals are taken from a major scale. Chromatic Intervals are NOT taken from a major scale. They are derived from the diatonic intervals.
