Is there two other ~gan(s)?

So, we all know about Byakugan, Rinnegan and Sharingan.

The three great Doujutus we know are Kekkei Genkais that give the possessor a set of unique abilities, each in a way:

Sharingan -> sees chakra and improves normal sight; relates to the Uchiha clan, signature move: Goukakyu no jutsu (a fireball) and enhances Genjutsus; colour: red.

Byakugan -> can shift from only chakra and normal sight (as everything got chakra, they can see through solid objects and everything, even through their own skulls; relates to the Hyuuga clan, signature move: Jyuuken Ryuu (a strike to the bodies' chakra conduction) and thus enhances Taijutsus; colour: white.

Rinnegan -> can see the chakra's nature and form, enhancing the learning of the five element types and different ninjutsu types; relates to a rare recessive gene that affects individuals once in a thousand years, signature move: Shinra Tensei (a repel/atraction wave) and it enhances Ninjutsus; colour: blue.

What has brought my attention in all this is how these three seem connected to some elements' characteristics of Naruto. Not only the colour, but the effect they have on chakra, seems to me like they relate to a specific element in a way.

-Sharingan is hypnotizing like Fire (Amaterasu and Uchiha's signature move), enhancing sight like the light of fire does.

-Byakugan's sight enlightens everything, just like a thunder burst (sudden light everywhere), and its move relates to chakra conduction, just like thunder element is conducted throughout the body (see Sasuke and Raikage's moves). Byakugan's veins around the white eye seem to me like thunders coming out of white clouds, although that's my personal interpretation.

-Rinnegan's sight focuses on nature and form of chakra, and the element easier to manipulate its form is Water. It also resembles rippling water, and despite enabling the user to cast every element he desires, Nagato kept using suitons every time he could draw attention to them: made rain, used Suiton against Jiraya, it's the "normal" ninjutsu he chose among all elements. Seems a weak argument, of course, and it is. To relate an eye that enables the use of all elements to one main is a difficult task. But I believe the chakra nature and form manipulation is a trait that suits most the water, as form manipulation relates to her the most, as a trait.

Now take a look at Zetsu's eyes:

If this theory is correct, then each ~gan is related in nature to one of the 5 main elements of Naruto, and we're still missing Wind and Earth. Blue, White, Red, Yellow and Black are the main colours, and Zetsu's eyes seems yellow. Coincidence? Is it also some sort of ~gan that enables him to do all those tricks he has (being a close friend of Madara and all)??

I gave it a thought, and it could be both Earth (gold is yellow and come from earth, and Zetsu seems like a plant and enters the earth quite easily) or wind (has no clear colour, so perhaps yellow would be fine, and splits things, just like Zetsu's body splits into a Yin and a Yang side). But Zetsu clearly shown his sight power when he sensed an incoming party at some point in the manga, so he does seem to have some sort of eye powers.

Too crazy? Possible? Please, no flamming. ^^
