Default Using INDEX and MATCH to find data in 2 different sheets

Dear Excel geniuses,

I have two excel worksheets. One with data which is arranged in columns and
one where I want to pull the data into which should be arranged in rows. I
need to find a value based on 3 criteria and for that reason I use the INDEX
and MATCH formulas, however my excel knowledge abandons me here so I was
hoping for your assistance. In order to clarify I have made below example:

A B C D E F
1 Red Orange Green
2 Blue Purple White
3 Yellow Black Pink
4 Small 10 11 5
5 Medium 12 7 4
6 Large 6 3 2
7
8 Small Medium Large
9 Red Blue Yellow #N/A
10 Orange Purple Black
11 Green White Pink

The formula I use in cell D9 is
{=INDEX(C5:E5;MATCH(B10&C10&D10;C2:C7&D2:D7&E2:E7; 0))}

The formula should return 10 but it gives a #N/A. Because of the lay-out of
the data I have, I am not very flexible with arranging the data differently
so I can use another solution.

I have pasted the example straight out of Excel so I hope it is still
readible.

Do you have any idea?

Thnks!
