Multi-colored anthotype photograph? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been looking into anthotypes recently and thought they were pretty interesting.

Then I started to wonder if it was possible to make an anthotype that could display multiple colors (like a colored photograph).

I came across this post and thought it was like the reverse of a regular anthotype.

Which made me wonder if you could use the same process to create a colored picture?

I was thinking if you took plants that produce pigments across the color spectrum and mixed them together it could make the coating black.

Then when the light hits the paper it removes the pigments from the other colors on the spectrum only leaving the color that was hit in that space eventually creating a colored picture.

I haven't had the chance to try this yet and I am not really knowledgeable about photography, but would this work?

Disclaimer up front: I have very little background in any of this.

Why not do three exposures on three different prices of paper with a color filter in front of each? Green pigment gets the green filter, etc.

Ok that does seem doable but how would I combine the paper at the end to create a colored picture?

Digitally? Unless that's off limits in this situation. I'm sure there are analog paths you could take too, I just don't know what they would be

Yeah I was hoping it could be all done physically. But thx for the advice.
