also yellow sort of off to the side. Purple dragons are from red and blue, and orange are from red and yellow. There's also pink dragons but they don't seem to fit into the system properly

so working within this system we're getting

cyan = poison + lightning = electric kitchen fire
magenta = fire + plasma = lithium battery catches fire in direct sunlight
chartreuse = salt + poison = spermicide and/or Mountain Dew (we say it with love)
indigo = lightning + plasma = fancy television destroyed by electric surge

you're kinda mixing color spaces. you gotta start with either RGB or CMY and invert to get the other one. this implies that yellow (salt) is inverse blue (lightning), which is a bold claim, but possibly defensible?

as i already said, the existing dragon colors are fixed and im trying to work around them, and the existing system is already weird and messy because it uses red, yellow, and blue as primary colors for an essentially subtractive system. it's not how i would have done things but it's already established

okay maybe the pink dragon is secretly the magenta dragon. they have bubble breath? apparently? and as magenta they need to be the inverse of green, which is...poison. they do say laughter is the best medicine? but is it the best antidote? we're not entirely sure of the medicinal properties of bubble breath, to be fair
