: (*:* 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>
