Is it possible to combine active and passive gems of different colors?

Question

I'd like to combine Item Rarity (passive blue) with my AoE Rain of Arrows (active green). Of course I can socket these gems the way I want, but will the Rain of Arrows benefit of the Item Rarity's boost ?

Arc (Active blue) + Chain (support green) increases the number of times it jumps dramatically; wouldn't make sense to limit supports to only those of the same color. Spell Totem, especially, would lose much of it's effectiveness.

"Yes", you can. That's why different colors tend to be linked at all.

The only thing that wont work is bad mechanics logic (Multiple Projectiles/Fork and Glacial Hammer for example, do not work together that well).
