This approach can certainly get complicated. For your original idea, you could still have four states, but they would be composite; redOpen, redClosed, blueOpen, blueClosed. I know that this is just a hypothetical scenario, but I would go with binding (Caringorm) for styles instead of states.

Otherwise yes you would require a separate state for each. Which is logical because up, down, red, blue signify each a separate state.
