My health potions are green and poisons are red

If you get into those coffee table books about the making of the first three movies, you find lots of world building.
You are well aware that those are retcon? None of this existed before "A New Hope". Most of it was done later by specialists hired by LucasFilm.

Lucas had reems of material he used to turn out multiple screenplays before he ended on New Hope.
That's a big part of where those changes in the re-releases came from.

Nah this one is easy.
If it's green and sparkly, it's a good thing. If it's green and bubbly, it's a bad thing.
Given what Mountain Dew has done to me, that tracks.

"There are no 'rules' for fantasy"
Wrong. To write good Fantasy (of SciFi), you have to go through a process called "World Building" where you lay down the rules of your world. Properly done, the amount of World Building exceeds the actual works by far. It is absolutely necessary to create a core of inner logic to the story. You are not bound by the rules of our world, yes, but you are bound by the rule of consistency. If you violate those, you automatically write crap Fantasy (or SciFi).
Funny, though, that e.g. many literature teachers / professors don't even know about the idea of World Building.
That's hard fantasy. Soft fantasy can be good too.

Can, yes, but in my experience rarely is.

I used yellow for health to avoid red/green colourblind issues
I'm not sure if that's a joke? If you have red/green colorblindness, you wouldn't be able to distinguish yellow either. You'd just see blue and not blue.

You can use this to come up with a palette, mine was safe

But you could have just used a shade of red that looks the same. It would be just as safe, and have red health potions.

I love the possibility of having a red/green colorblind character and having to roll to hopefully pick the right potion when they both health potion and poison in their bag.
But poison is purple. It's acid they'd get it mixed up with.

It's a potion that cures hunger.
potions of stamina are just energy drinks

Reminds me of the blue stop signs
