Doesn't sound "silly" to me either. Do you know about using negative color lights btw?
Not nearly the same thing but you can counter the positive color lights with one. It's
just that this would effect the whole unlit area, not a object alone. Closest you
could
get to your "feature" would be to point a narrow spotlight with color rgb -1 for
example
at the desired object from the exact same location as the positive lightsource.
