You are right, but Citrine would be an extreme case. I mean, except in Alexandrite and Malachite case, the fusions' main colors are derivated from the main colors of at least one of the Gems that form them: Citrine's case, on the other hand, seems completely ilogical. From Steven's and Amethyst's colors you can derivate lilac, magenta, lavender, plum, wine, dark pink, fucsia, puck, gum-pink, reddish-pink, reddish-violet, even some shades of red; but not orange and definitely not yellow. hallelujah Also, I wanted to add 2 things:
 * Sardonyx's pale orange comes from Garnet's reddish tint and Pearl's whitish tone.
 * Sugilite's dark purple is derivated from Amethyst's purple, maybe enhanced by the "violet" formed by the "mix" of Ruby and Sapphire's colors (Red+Blue)
 * Rainbow Quartz's purplish pink comes from Rose Quartz's pink and Pearl's bluish hue.
 * Opal's pale purple comes from Pearl's whitish tone and Amethyst's purple.
 * Garnet's crimson (that after regeneration has become more violetish) comes from Ruby's red, maybe darkened and desaturated by Sapphire's blue.
 * In Malachite's case, I can speculate that Lapis' blue color was mixed with the yellowish tint of Jasper's orange to form a bluish green.
 * Alexandrite remains a mystery for everyone.
 * 1) I don't think that any fusion involving Amethyst would make Citrine. Amethyst main color are purple and violet, which are the complementary of yellow, Citrine's main color, so it is impossible to get yellow or orange out of violet. The closest you could reach is a salmon hue.
 * 2) Citrine does not come from Amethyst. Most citrine in the market is in fact heat-treated amethyst, but citrine also occurs in nature as one of the varieties of macrocrystalline quartz.
