snarpBlue + yellow + white = light green.
But if you add in Pink Diamond, you're basically doing subtractive color mixing, like:
Magenta (Pink Diamond) + cyan (Blue Diamond) + yellow (Diamond) + white (Diamond) = gray.
Assuming that Peridots are a modern mass-produced "support" gem, and Pearls were the old-school one, it seems reasonable that they're both supposed to be a combination of the Diamonds' colors. Pearl Prime may be "defective" because her gem's too pale.
(Get your Anne Bishop out of here, this is a serious show about rocks crying.)
