Angle green = angle pink since it is subtended by the same chord . (ie , the chord formed from the vertices of the green angle and yellow angle )

Green and pink are not necessarily equal.

I think it's clear when I say that the angles are equal because it is subtended by the same chord . It is very easy to show that blue = yellow + red since the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 .

You wrote angle green = angle pink.
That statement is false. Although you give the explanation about angle green and angle yellow opening the same chord, hence angle green = angle yellow. And now you can say angle blue = angle yellow + angle red
