So this is my current defense.Soon Glenda will be replaced by Sobek and i was wondering if i could replace C Marjanaa with Diaochan since i just got her?

In the past, that has worked in some metas. Dual GM and dual Panther defenses did well. As did Finley with Cobalt.
One of the marks against it except for long time players and whales is what is your second troop in that color?
I loved playing around with raid defenses to see how it compares with the normal range of cups after a certain period offline.
I wouldn’t remove the color that is strong against the color strong on your tank. Example: if you run green tank they may stack reds. So I’d keep a blue on defense to strong color hammer those attacking reds.
Have fun. Put it up and see what your cups do. Try rearranging a bit and see if they change.

Thanks for the answer
For war defense I wouldn’t do it.
For pvp, who cares. Just do it 
You will probably still be diamond with double color team, and everything else doesn’t matter. Use fun defense teams, you can use different heroes and the opponent will raid against something different and not the standard raid defense, I would say win-win situation.
And if it doesn’t work at all, just change it back.

I used double purple on the 1st W3K and I was one shotted every single time 
but I was placed on very easy to spot place, on the middle of the 1st row.
So I wouldn’t use 2 of the same colours in wars and W3K, regular raids doesn’t matter that much what you put there. I actually like to use a little bit easier team there, makes revenge matches way easier.
2 Costume aliase is used in teams iv seen …
They are spread out left wing and right flank .
Sure two hero’s same colour can work just try spread them out…
Plus who yah got else surrounding them is always helpful

It depends on the meta, your specific heroes, and your troops (plural) in that doubled color. Also RNG. The Cobalt-Finley tandem was used for several wars and averaged two flags to kill against top 10 alliances.
If it works poorly on raid defense versus the rainbow defense you normally use, it might not do that well in Alliance War.
Test it for raids for at least a day in each configuration. Unless your cups are taking a beating and you don’t need more data to evaluate.
Have fun.
In general, “yes”. It does set up your defense for more normal (or 1x) tile damage and potentially no 0.5x tile damage. Maybe confirmation bias on my part, there seems to be more of a shift to specials over tile damage (color stacking) on attack teams on the whole. If so, then there would be less benefit to a rainbow defense.
If I was going to use two purples, I would try to have a gold tank and two purple flanks. My alliance uses coordinated color war tanks, and gold is not one of the colors, so I wouldn’t set it up just for raids. I know that I just said that I think more are moving away from color stacking, but it is still prevalent.
You can try it on your raid team, normal formation. Look at the teams attacking the raid defense, who wins/loses to your defense. If it’s taking specific heroes or colors to beat it, it probably would fair well in war.
The top alliances attack mostly with 3-2, in VF often 3-1-1 or 2-2-1.
But the 3stack is the core of the attack teams. Two of the same color can work in VF, because everything fires after 6 tiles, tile damage is of minor concern.
In all other war formats it is difficult. There are exceptions, two costumed Alassies with a Xnol tank can work, a Ludwig flank with a Xnol tank too.
But this works only if the whole alliance fields the same defense. Its difficult to have six times the same three strong colors on offense.
