Colorways in Collections

I currently have a handful of collections where I added all color variations of a given product. I had considered that if/when they all got grouped together, I might only leave in one so as to make it easier to scroll through all the products available and not have the other items in this collection section full of blue, purple, and red versions of the green thing the customer is already looking at. But I also worried that then customers would only see the other items in the collection if they first clicked on the color version I left in the collection. This seems likely seeing as how when I click through to another color theme on the product page, my tab still shows the color I had clicked through to first. I have checked and seen this behavior on Chrome, Opera, and Edge on a PC running Windows 11.

So, first question: Is this the case that I will only be shown a collection if the first color theme I click on is added to said collection? So if I add only the blue version, clicking on the green version from the marketplace will not show me the collection?

Then I read in the collection contest thread https://community.zazzle.com/t5/general-zazzle-discussion/mega-moments-contest-questions/m-p/96574 the recommendation that boy and girl versions of the same baby shower designs should be placed in separate collections. Should I also do that with my home goods collections so that I have several collections that are identical in all but color?

If your concern turns out to be correct and I suspect it might be because even though those products are grouped they're still individual products, an idea for you might be to add those other colorways BUT position them at the END of the rest of your collection (they appear last) so as not to interfere with the rest of your collection being viewed which is your fear presently.
