The diagrams look pretty good. The board does have a current regulator, so no resistor required for the Green main die.
However, real color mixing will require a CEx board. You will be able to mix basic colors with the setup you have. And because you are using both greens, mixing with that color will likely give your mixed color a greenish tint (2 green v 1 blue), just something you should be mindful of. Also, since you are running the Greens in serial, you are going to be pulling close to 7V. You may want to seriously consider using just one Green. Otherwise you may not be "happy" with what you see, when you try to mix colors.
I haven't checked your main LED resistors and since I don't use my CF's this way I would need to se how the "legacy calculations" work.
For Tri-Rebel Rb's a Vf of 3.3 - 3.4 is a good number to use.
Good Luck!

So you are saying it would be better to run two green in parallel or just fully eliminate one of the greens? I was also thinking to use Color extender but it is another $40 or so..
I was thinking to use mostly green LED as a main color and occasionally change it a bit.

If you are mainly going to use green, then you can run the 2 of them in parallel (each will get 1A). IF you are going to try and mix colors (and include green), that is where the issues could come in.

Ok thank you. The same setup in parallel also doesn't require any additional resistors, correct? I just have to make sure
