After all, both are species only very distantly related to true dragons, so it would be a bit weird if they just happened to have the same colour categories with associated breath weapons (should they have any.) If one wanted such a setup, there are two avenues I'd consider. Kobolds and dragonborn are somehow directly created by dragons, like draconians on Krynn, so that the created lesser draconic creatures share characteristics of the dragon that spawned them. Other approach would be that the dragon colours and associated abilities are not actually hereditary, but an environmental adaptation that happens on each individual. So the elemental auras or other environmental effects of the area dragonic creature is growing up in will determine its colour, and this applies to kobolds and dragonborn just the same than it does to the proper dragons. So in same area all the dragonic creatures would usually share the colour.</blockquote>
