Modding Discussion • Crafting recipe whose ingredient is not in a named group

Is anyone aware of using the native crafting recipe format, for defining a recipe ingredient whose group membership excludes a named group?

Most recipes that use, say, "group:stick" don't care about the other attributes. But let's say I want "group:stick,!group:purple," or that is to say, an item of group stick, but an item that is not of group purple.

Is that feasible, possible, or documented or demonstrated somewhere that I've missed?

I realize I could write a custom formspec/node that could perform this check, but I was hoping to use the native crafting recipe design.
