Veiled Noble Topaz / Glinting Noble Topaz / Potent Noble Topaz for orange, Shifting Nightseye for purple, Solid Star of Elune for blue... for yellow, I'd guess the Mystic Dawnstone, and for green... it beats me, really. Talasites don't seem to sell well. Steady Talasite is probably going to be the easiest to get, but I've also seen people buy Enduring Talasite and Dazzling Talasite.
And I know you already have a red, but Runed Living Ruby and Delicate Living Ruby both sell rather well, I would imagine, as well as Bright Living Ruby.
Those are the usual guaranteed sells, though the market can vary pretty wildly from server to server, and you might have issues selling Dawnstones and Talasites no matter what you cut them into.
Also, if you're going into this with the intention to make a profit, keep in mind the following things.
Patterns for blue gems are for the most part blue world drops, and as such, they'll cost you a small fortune in the AH.
You might have issues even covering your original investment, nevermind actually making a profit.
Uncut gems can, depending on the market, sell for more than a cut gem. As such, buying uncut gems, cutting and reselling might be risky, and if you're buying ore, prospecting it and hoping to find blue gems, always check prices and be prepared to sell uncut gems.
Good luck.

When I first hit 350 JCing on my Mage, my top priorities were
*All Living Ruby, Nightseye and Noble Topaz cuts* - The only exception to this was Flashing (+8 Parry) & Subtle (+8 Dodge) Living Rubies and Infused Nightseye (+8ap/+2mp5).
These are by far my most requested gem cuts, aside from the 3 listed above. (Although to be honest, I also make some good money off Infused Nightseyes, but not really steady).
Additionally, you should also jump for Solid Star of Elune (+12 Stamina), Enduring Talasite (+4def/+6 Sta) and Jagged Talasite (+4crit/+6 Sta) as soon as you see them, especially SSoE.
With a good combination of everything above (try for 3-5, one of each color) , you can at least start to cut gems for skillups very easily, since most of those are high-demand gems that people are always looking for. Additionally, you can start Prospecting and cutting the gems you find, which on my server at least is still viable for making money.
