: (*:* AND -color:[* TO *])
the *:* shouldn't be neccessary in Solr, fq=-color:[* TO *] should work just
fine.

For the record, nothing in Solr's SimpleFacet code will produce the string
"_empty_" ... if facet.missing=true then a count of all docs with no value
will be included, but it doesn't have a label (ala hte example on the
wiki....
<lst name="facet_fields">
<lst name="cat">
<int name="music">1</int>
<int name="connector">2</int>
<int name="electronics">3</int>
<int>1</int> <!-- this is the facet.missing count -->
</lst>
