Is there an Inverse Mask?

I have this:

If I group red and blue together, and yellow and green together, how do I exclude the two groups? If I do an exclude selection it turns into this:

Not only are the colors unified, but the groups’ elements are also subject to exclusion. Unexpected, but still working as intended

For lines cutting through groups, I figured I could rasterize them. It works in that case although you’ll have to maintain the pre-rasterized group.

But in this case, when I did an exclude selection, the 2nd image(very right box) just disappeared

Is there an easier way to do this? Like an inverse mask? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Thank you! 😁
The boolean operation worked.
I’m using the desktop app so I had activate the ShapeShifter plugin to find it, but it work.
