Those are some good catches there!
I can definitely see the secondary colors being for the non-human recruits, but in my mind that actually makes for a stronger argument for both Carrot and Pudding: Chopper=literal animal, Franky=cyborg, Jinbe=Fishman, Carrot=Mink, Monet=harpy, Pudding=Three-Eyes.
I'm reserving judgment on Yamato for now since we haven't confirmed whether or not Kaido is human. His horns could well be a specific style of horn, similar to Merry's curled sheep horns, Caesar's straighter goat horns, or Hannyabal's devilish horns, but they could also be indicative that he's a unique race. If we find out that Kaido and Yamato aren't human, I'll definitely take that as a strong sign.
As for the Alphabet Theory, I'm not sure if you've read my theory on the matter, but my thinking is that Oda will work around her not fitting through her epithet once she officially becomes a pirate, likely calling her White Rabbit or something to that effect. I've gotten a lot of pushback for that one, but as I've said, Carrot has so much going for her narratively that I'm willing to believe that Oda is bending rules like that to throw us off.
For the MFMM pattern, I wrote another theory specifically detailing why I think the New World is going to have three female recruits, which would make the final total 8 and 5, or 9 and 6 if Vivi and Momo are counted despite being honorary recruits, but I love the idea of there being four girls with different Devil Fruit types.
If you feel that it's gonna be Monet for green and Yamato for orange, do you have any suggestions for who's going to be purple?

It’s the New World, Straw Hat Pirates need more heavy hitters, especially on female side. Carrot going out to the world, where her Sulong form exists by moonlight is a bit burdensome. Robin will sure likely use haki, but still she’s more of a brain than brawl of the group. Another thing is that the alphabet theory you’ve posted, have been hinted so much previously. Shirahoshi (S), Rebecca (R), Viola (V) and non of them joins the crew despite the lack of estrogen (LOL) in the crew. Even Bartolomeo (B) where many fans speculated he would join, only become Grand Fleet Captain.
I still have no idea who’s gonna be the purple. Yamato most likely in between deep purple, or deep orange, so the other final male recruit is deep orange / deep purple. Another thing to note is that Jinbe (sea), Yamato (land), and Monet (sky) each represent the nature.
One thing also I also believe that there is another hidden Ancient Weapon. I based this after I watched Sailor Moon, and the thing is 3 Ancient Weapons are based on 3 Outer Senshi; Uranus, Neptune (Poseidon), Pluto(n). I believe if all 3 are awakened, will release the final Ancient Weapon; Saturn. And Jinbe represents Neptune, Yamato represents Pluto (his/her horns are so much like devils/oni), and Monet represents Uranus.
I really hope Monet is alive, and Monet & Yamato is so much better. I’m not a Carrot hater, it’s just that I think we’ve had enough Chopper at the moment. I don’t remember about it but so far I haven’t seen Sanji looks interested in Carrot although they’ve met already. So far only Luffy & Franky already met with Yamato, and Franky only for a mere second. So, back again I believe that Yamato will somehow changes her/his name, which has already hinted in current chapters, that he/she will severe the “chains” that connects him/her with Kaido, and I believe that is his/her name. Maybe Yamato will change his/her name to be “Yamato Oden”, where Yamato is the surname (like Nico, Vinsmoke, Roronoa), and the crew will call him/her “Oden” (Oden-kun for Sanji)
