[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
We have tried separating them, offering and doing 1:1 activities with each of them (preplanned, not as a reward) but then the second they are together again it is just not stopped. 
Larla might say "I like that blue pillow". Larlo says "its not blue its tourqois". I state that is a form of blue. He says "she is still wrong" and she ends up in tears. 
Larlo will have Larla play Legos but then she will honestly accidentally break something (because 5) and he will yell and scream at her. 
Larlo will be watching a movie in the family room and larla will bring on 10,000 toys and play in there annoying him (despite having 4 other bedrooms, a living room, playroom,a basement and an entire yard to play in).

It just never ever ends. If one says white the other demands black. It is exhausting. [/quote]

Um get a backbone and stick up for the younger one 
“Larla is right.  Turquoise is blue.”
“It was an accident and she said sorry.  Stop screaming now and apologize or [appropriate and immediate consequence]”
“Larla can play here as long as she’s playing quietly.  She not bugging you.  Leave her alone or I’ll stop the movie”.
