Request basket colour selection

I know we can specify a colour in a request basket if we have the colour of the item we want, but is there anyway that it can be controlled to exclude a colour?

Or have multiple colours that you do want, without a separate basket for each?

Kinda like I can put a copper ore in a basket and use that to request gold ore, don’t quite see why that is differentiated from colour of gleam for example!

Or I can use glue to request all bonding agents, seems odd that I cannot then select what colours of sand I would like, etc.
