I’m somewhat unfamiliar with the official descriptions of races, but I’ve heard that Tieflings don’t officially have tails which would mean that the traits shared by two circles in the diagram are things the race is NOT officially supposed to have. If that’s the case, then the dragonborn are rightfully excluded from the “many colors” trait as they do officially come in many colors. Could be wrong, though.

I also considered that theory when I was trying to interpret the diagram, but it doesn’t work.
