Suggestion for fader options?

I'm looking for a suggestion on a better fader/master option when using some fixtures with color mixing.

Occasionally I need to light an opening band and I just want to use my front wash lights that are ColorPro HX's and some LED's.

I have a set of faders I use with just the washes and I fade between them for color changes, I realize I could set up the faders to swap but sometimes I want to mix.

The problem is when I mix if I come up from 0 the lights start at white and then mix into the color when I use IFCB Fader. Now I considered changing the path on the color so it would snap at the beginning, but if I do that then I lose the ability to mix between faders once I have light on the stage.

I guess I'm thinking what I want to accomplish is two mutually exclusive options/settings or am I missing another way to accomplish the same task?
