Personal standing theory is that Blue is the war section of Gem society. (Diplomacy, including "internal conflcit resolution" ala Garnet's back story is still part of military action.)

So god level Gems like Lapis and shenanigan Gems like Sapphire (future vision) would fit best in an army.

White is the ruling elite/Queen. (If there are WD Gems, like Lapis and Sapphire are to Blue and Peridot is to Yellow, then it's the upper eschalons of society. If there's only White, then she's just the Empress. As for why Jasper isn't a YD, is because she was "on loan". An idea I got from the fact that she fought in the old Rebellion, and that she's not terrified of Yellow like Peridot and Lapis were.)

And Yellow would be the science division. (cause of the destabilizers.... I suspect that they're bodyless "clones" of Yellow herself, and that she has that as a natural ability... hence why she is a Diamond.)

Rose was the creation division, eg: "Birth Mother". Her rebellion, I see no reason why she had to be "Pink Diamond" when "Rose Diamond" works perfectly, moved her duties on to Yellow, who like any good scientist, changed it slightly to pursue "revival" projects. (eg: clustering to make new warriors instead of growing them from scratch.)

Further, Rose's duties could have been split between Blue and Yellow... ala colonization and neutralization are Blue now, and creation is Yellow.

As to what they're fighting... who knows. (I like the idea of the original Battlestar Galactica wherein they're fighting their original creators and humans are just caught up in the galactic war.)
