Bill, I miss the whole picture, it's worth to rephrase the problem in one
sentence.
But regarding the quote above, you can try to use exclusive ranges
https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_6_0/queryparser/org/apache/lucene/queryparser/classic/package-summary.html#Range_Searches
fq=-color:({* TO green} {green TO red} {red TO *})
just don't forget to build ranges alphabetically
