The the bottom middle molecule, could it be called 3-cloro-4-broom-3-hexene instead of 3-bromo-4-color-3-hexene?

No, it should be called (E)-3-Bromo-4-chloro-3-hexene because the priority for numbering halogens is based on alphabetical order. Since B is before C, bromo gets the 3 and chloro gets the 4.
