Output Filter for Multi-select TV

Am I right in thinking that the built-in conditional output filters aren't going to work with multi-select TVs?

In other words, I can't do this:

Multi select TV *colour:  Blue==blue||Red==red||Yellow==yellow

[[*colour:eq=`yellow`:then=`Yellow was one of the selected options`]]

[[*colour:eq=`yellow`:then=`Yellow was one of the selected options`:else=`[[-]]`]]

try to pass an else value.

Edit: original answer was wrong.

Sure - I'll put in an else value if this approach works with multi-selects. But given that a multi-select returns an array, can it be said to be equal to anything?

you can create a custom-output-filter or use the If-snippet

[[If?
   &subject=`yellow`
   &operator=`inarray`
   &operand=`[[*colour:replace=`||==,`]]`
   &then=`Yellow was one of the selected options`
   &else=``
]]

Sorry, this will not work for multi-select.
What you need is a customoutput filter - http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/making-sites-with-modx/customizing-content/input-and-output-filters-(output-modifiers)/custom-output-filter-examples
