Assumed. It is definitely plausible, but it's also possible that this notion is not entirely accurate.

Certainly, I don't see how White Cosmos seems opposite of any Black avatar we know. If anything, a total lack of offensive abilities would seem to qualify her as weird enough to be Black herself.

2. Said quality is independent of attack type (covered by the colour wheel) and avatar resistance (covered by the metal chart)

Hmm. I can see how you could reasonably come to this conclusion, based only on theory.

However, that assumes that purely or nearly Black and White avatars are not specialized in ways that one could define as "types of attack".

Yet, Black Lotus is primarily focused on direct close range combat, and Black Vise is evidently suited for indirect long range combat. Two avatars which are pure Black, and they are designed for completely different tactics which seem like they ought to be Blue and Orange.

What similarities do they share? Do these similarities set them apart from Blue and Orange avatars?

You mention the possibility that they underwent different development, but do you imagine it's plausible that at Level 1, Black Lotus wasn't made of blades and Black Vise wasn't made of panels?

Their names suggest otherwise. Lotus seems a poetic way of referring to her many blades (as petals, you see) and how she floats (a lotus being a flower that floats on water). Vise would refer to Static Pressure, the move which traps opponents in a crushing vise made of panels.

Further, White Cosmos herself seems like she can be defined as a Yellow avatar. Because if she lacks any direct attacks at all, then that clearly means she has one specific attack type: Indirect.

3. The following avatars are near white or actually white: Ardor Maiden, Sky Raker, Trilead Tetraoxide, Ash Roller, Sand Duct, Saffron Blossom and White Cosmos.

I can understand how Sky Raker and Ash Roller are some kind of Blue and Green, respectively.

That is, if Raker has no weapon, she needs to rush into close-range combat to defeat her opponent. And even though Roller rushes into to direct collide with his opponents, he is protected from the collision by his bike, which also works as a sort of shield against counterattacks.

But Sand Duct makes no sense as a Yellowish avatar. His main attack (Sand Blaster) is long-range and direct. His body is huge, and though we never see him throw a punch, it seems like he ought to have a lot of weight behind it. Likewise, his size suggests that he can absorb a lot of damage before going down.

The only thing that would make the whole thing sensible is if Sand Blaster is actually very weak at dealing damage, and instead is primarily intended to push a target away. That, combined with Molecular Driver, gives Sand Duct the power to push and pull his opponents -- indirectly affecting the battle by controlling their distance relative to himself.

Sand Blaster inflicting only minor damage directly also helps explain how Aqua Current absorbed a shot with no apparent effect. Even if she has a resistance based on her body, Sand Duct is two levels higher. Silver Crow is strong against piercing attacks, but with an advantage of three levels, Cyan Pile used a piercing attack to sever his arm clean off.

1. Blood Leopard, a red avatar, uses biting as her main form of offense and also has 2 special attacks that relate to biting. As this goes against her position on the colour chart, we must look at her position on the white-black spectrum. As you can see, Blood Leopard sits rather close to black or colorless. As such, we can assume that this must be the culprit responsible for such an attack style.

Your theory does nothing to explain why she isn't Blue-slanted towards Black, as opposed to Red-slanted towards Black. Your theory includes nothing about completely reversing a color's tactics.

5. Dusk Taker utilizes both range types by stealing the required body parts/ abilities/ Enhanced Armaments, rather than it being an original part of his avatar.

Except that he could theoretically also steal indirect abilities and tools from Yellow avatars, which would mean he didn't actually have any affinity for direct attacks.

On that note, I do agree that Demonic Comandeer itself was an indirect ability, and as such should have been Yellow.

Considering all that, his Purplish color makes just as little sense as Blood Leopard's Reddishness: None.

In fact, if Dusk Taker and Blood Leopard have one similarity, it's that they're on the completely opposite sides of the color wheel than they should be. Purplish Taker should be Yellow, and Red-Orangish Leopard should be Blue.
