I think this is were subcontainers, or even ziplock bags, can be very
handy. I can't imagine having separate compartments for each color of 1x2
bricks, but I can imagine having a number of bags in a single container,
each bag having a single color of 1x2 bricks. Even if each bag had two or
three colors, you can still quickly zoom in on the specific bag needed, and
avoid unnecessary wear-and-tear on bricks of any other colors.
