Genes don't work like that.

It is likely that you would get male offspring the colour of the father and females the colour of the mother, as the colour would be on the X and Y chromasones (yes I spelt that wrong) which are inherited. To make it work, having males all one colour, the X would have the green/pink/gold gene on it and the Y would have the red/blue/silver genes. The colour genes on the Y would have to be dominant so that wherever present they would show.

So, a rathalos would be XY and a rathian XX. XY+XX=XX or XY. you cannot get YY because two males cannot reproduce.

It does not matter about the colour mixing.
