| Hmm tricky,  sounds like what you want is something that maps
| any primary color to that color, but anything else to black.
| 
| One solution I can think if is take a copy of the image
| and make specific colors transparent, the use that to mask out
| all the other non-matching colors.
| 
| See the second example of
|   http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/color/#transparent
| 
| For example
| 
|    convert hd-tv.png  \( +clone -matte -fuzz %2 \
|                -transparent blue \
|                -transparent green \
|                -transparent red \
|                -fill black  -colorize 100% \) \
|            -composite    primary_colors.png
| 
| This would return an image only showing colors close to just the
| specific colors specified, and replace all other colors with black.
| 
Final result is now in the IM forum.
