OK, let me try phrasing it better.
How do I exclude from search, any result which contains any value for
multivalued field 'color' which is not within a given "constraint set"
(e.g., "red", "green", "yellow", "burnt sienna"), given that I do not what
any of the other possible values of 'color' are?
In pseudocode:
for all x in result.color
if x not in ("red","green","yellow", "burnt sienna")
filter out result
I don't see how range queries would work since I have no control over the
possible values of 'color', e.g., there could be a valid color "lemon
yellow" between "green" and "red", and I don't want a result which has
(color: red, color: "lemon yellow")
