In theory, yes I believe it could be done, however I would be concerned that a
1x2 filter would be so thick as to distort the image drastically... better to
take a sheet of transparency material and print a red, green and blue spot and
attach it possibly to a wheel/pulley (sorry I'm at work and not in full Lego
mode) the 6 holed variety and rotate it with a rotation sensor to lock in the
correct positioning.... ?

I had an article on how to due color scanning with a BW hand scanner that was
a multipass using filters... I think rotating the filters in and having the
exact lens positioning would work much better.

I tried this a little when I first made my robot using the red bat wings that come with the set, and I couldn't get a good image through one of them. One of the big problems is that the sensor is mostly infrared, with some red sensitivity. I haven't (...) (26 years ago, 28-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
