How do I use color labels to NOT show a group of images?

I'm very familiar with the workings of ratings and labels. Something I want to do sometimes is have a group of photos with a specific color label (for example, red) and I want to show all the images that are NOT red. With star ratings I can do greater than, less than, or equal. Is there a way to use color labels for All or None?

Use a Smart Collection. Or use the Filter Bar ... not red is selected by selecting all of the other color of labels except red.

I'll look into smart collections (I've used them before, but not for this), but selecting all the other colors only works if the other colors have been assigned. I suppose I could make everything blue, select the blue label filter and then make things I don't want to see not blue, but that seems a roundabout way to just say "turn off the red ones".

Activte the red label filter, select the red labelled images, then invert the selection (Edit menu). You can do this on a folder by folder basis or from All Photos
