in anno MMXIV o monachis

I have this input file I want to turn into a multidimensional hash

NAME    NUMBER    COLOR
GNAEUS    1    BLUE
GNAEUS    1    RED
FABIUS      1    BLUE
FABIUS      2    YELLOW
 FABIUS    1    RED
....

This is how I am turning it into a hash of hashes

undef my %hash;
open IN, $ARGV[0];
while(<IN>){
    chomp $_;
    my ($name,$number,$color) = split /\t/, $_;
    $hash{$name}{$number}{$color}++;
}

Here's some pseudo-code of what I'm trying to accomplish

 
my %returnedHash = grep / $hash{"GNAEUS"}{"1"} / keys %hash; 

foreach my $name (keys %returnedHash){ 
        
    foreach my $number (keys %{$returnedHash{$name}}){
            
        foreach my $color (keys %{$returnedHash{$name}{$number}}){
                     
            print $returnedHash{$name}{$number}{$color};
        }
    }
}

I'm at a loss at the moment. That's why I'm here. Please help me o'Monks
