@Original poster - Yep, you've got the right idea using a minor color and its components. It cuts down on the number of outcomes. Unfortunately you don't have a Diamond Dragon yet, but throwing Diamond in as the fourth color would make the list of outcomes as small as possible.

As for trying for your first Diamond, might I suggest something like Tiny + Life? Adding the Green to the combo plays decently with white or red hybrids since the White + Green common is Fuzzy (8 hrs) and Red + Green common is Life (3 hrs). Of course there are going to be some really long Rares/Super Rares like Virtue, Dawntree, Pegasus, etc. but it's not really easy to avoid really long breeding times at this point now that there are so many dragons.

Adding another minor color would be something you'd like to avoid if you're thinking of keeping the possibilities small, especially minor colors that don't share any components. (Night splits into Blue + Purple, which has nothing in common with Red + White, so that would add a ton of possibilities, while Mythic shares the Red component with Pink, so it would still add a bunch of possibilities, but slightly less).

Another thing to consider when choosing your fourth color is what possible dragons you may want as failures. The Green color adds the possibility of Dawntree and Naga (whereas a different color adds different possibilities).
