Yesod are earth pillars, the Add before the arm swipe consists of wind, Malkut is a breath of wind, literally. The debuffs he gives in the extreme version are literally called "Force against Earth/Wind". To me that's indication enough of his elements actually.

If the design of the attacks shouldn't be taken into consideration then I'd doubt what element Bismarck belongs to. Or more extreme, what is Ramuh then?
Ehh, your last bit there doesn't really follow. Ramuh, regardless of how you view him, is obviously lightning. 90% of his attacks are lightning based. The designs of Bismark's attacks show the he controls the weather, using lightning, water, and wind, yet is specifically stated to be dual-aspected in water and wind. Bahamut uses Megaflare, but if we follow from previous games it is not fire-aspected, but is non-elemental. However! He also uses Tornado and Earth Shakers. He also has those towers that burst when not stepped on. So what element is he?

With regards to your Sephirot statement, if I recall, the two orbs he uses are Spirit and Life, right? Are those aspected to earth and wind, even though one is orange and not brown? I'm not saying that we can't use enemy attack colors or patterns to determine elements, but we also can't jump to conclusions based on color alone.
