''I agree that it should probably be a young male. But they should try to make him sound young-man-ish without the sueakiness **coughcoughArsloidcoughcoughFukasecough** (not that there's anything wrong with them, I love them both lol). ''

You want another VY2, basically.

Bare in mind, youthful characters are popular in Japan. I doubt it will be another Shouta like Len, it will likely be bit older...  Or they could go completely younger. Who knows.

''Maybe a bit breathy, since we haven't had that done well with Cryptonloids yet?? idk I'm thinking something Amatsuki-and-or-Mafumafu-in-calmer-lower-songs-esque just so they can bridge the gap between Len and KAITO tone-wise. ''

Luka is the CV based on breath. So thats out. The'll likely try and fit him into a new concept. You have power out too though, since the Kagamine cover that.

Kaito is not a CV member nor was he originally designed by CFM. He and Meiko can be ignored.

''English, EVEC and Appends are a given as you mentioned. To be entirely honest, I think it'll take a while for the release of a CV04, because Crypton just loves playing it safe and they know male banks don't sell that well amongst their fans **coughWeebscough** so they have to face some serious cometition to decide to finally give us something new Voice Bank-wise. ''

It will take about a year based on current trend. It has nothing to do with weaboos. Japanese males don't sell so well in Japan.

But as a CFM CV vocal, he will sell decently. He might end up the least popular of the CVs, but their among the top ten vocaloids. Being bottom of the top 10 is still better then being in the bottom 10. CFM's products do well, even when their disappointing like Luka V4x.

''I just really really hope they stick to the male idea if they do release one, female Crypton banks are overpowering everything, at least it'll be more equal that way lol. Appearance-wise, the colors they haven't used yet are Purple, Orange and Green (as in actual green not teal), soooo...''

I doubt it will be orange, technically the Kagamines also use that. Also there are no red members of the CV. Meiko and Kaito don't count here, their not CFM's CV series. So red is still free. Since the colours tend to be a bit pale and not intense though, and pink is used, I would be tempted not to use red. But that is still on the table as a colour.

Female vocals are also popular. Kaito is a exception and he ends up being used as the "catch-all" vocal, but this guy will have the advantage of CFM. Heck, even most who buy the Kagamines in Japan do so for Rin and not so much for Len. Its why Rin has more merch, songs and fans...
