JSON schema conditional dependency on value

Question

I know there is a similar question here, but it didn't really address my issue. In short, I want one my fields to be dependent on the other field's value. But for some values, I don't want any field to be required. Here is an example:

Schema

{
  "definitions": {},
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {

    "colour": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["red", "black", "blue"]
    },

    "blackQuote": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 11
    },

    "redQuote": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 11
    }
  },

  "oneOf": [
      {
        "properties": {
          "colour": {"enum": ["red"]}
        },
        "required": ["redQuote"]
      },
      {
        "properties": {
          "colour": {"enum": ["black"]}
        },
        "required": ["blackQuote"]
      }
  ],

  "required": [
    "colour"
  ]
}

This works like this:

• IF the colour is "red" THEN "redQuote" (but not "blackQuote") is required: this is fine
• IF the colour is "black" THEN "blackQuote" (but not "redQuote") is required: this is also fine
• BUT if I put the colour "blue" in my JSON, then the validator says that the properties "redQuote" and "blackQuote" are missing... I don't want that, I only want dependecies for "red" and "black", but if the colour is "blue" I don't want anything required. How to achieve this?

Simplest answer in draft-04 (as noted by Ganesh in a comment):

{
  "definitions": {},
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {

    "colour": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["red", "black", "blue"]
    },

    "blackQuote": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 11
    },

    "redQuote": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 11
    }
  },

  "oneOf": [
      {
        "properties": {
          "colour": {"enum": ["red"]}
        },
        "required": ["redQuote"]
      },
      {
        "properties": {
          "colour": {"enum": ["black"]}
        },
        "required": ["blackQuote"]
      },
      {
        "properties": {
          "colour": {"enum": ["blue"]}
        }
      }
  ],

  "required": [
    "colour"
  ]
}
