I think your idea about them running out of colours was true, since they literally did run out of colours of the rainbow.
As for logic, that was one I was kind of debating with myself about. See, I realised it wasn't an emotion, but neither is willpower. They're both states of mind (not sure what they really would be called, best I could think of) The idea was that, in the story's universe, logic people were more anti-heroes; very much so "the end justifies the means," doing things like sacrificing one person to save others. While it's true that those could fall under willpower, so could much of hope.
Your third question, the answer is that it is an original idea inspired by the lanterns. The idea is that every member is somewhat like Alan Scott. The objects that give the powers crashed to Earth, created by an alien species, and they used them, not knowing what they were created for. As such it'd be more for street crime rather than intergalactic conflict. They wouldn't call themselves lanterns, because the power doesn't rely on lanterns. The source of power I'm still debating, but I'm mainly considering necklaces, a breastplate, or crystals which embed themselves in the chest of the user. They may be colour coded (if they are it'll be different colours than in DC) or maybe not, I'm still considering. They will all have symbols, though. And Greed's hard light constructs also work differently, as the objects are like normal, they can't be levitated or anything, it's just that they can't be lost or anything (once they're initially acquired).
Thanks about the power for Joy, but why do you think Super Speed would fit them?
