Table Interaction / Filter

Hello,
I Have been stuck on this issue for a few days now, not entirely sure if what I am after is even possible. If anyone could assist It would be massively appreciated

File Used: https://easyupload.io/m3v8sm

Table Used
I have one table of data, no relationships to anything else

I also have the following measures 

Red Items = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Item List'),'Item List'[Red] = true)
Green Items = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Item List'),'Item List'[Green] = true)
Blue Items = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Item List'),'Item List'[Blue] = true)
 
I have now produced two visuals. The first visual table contains Retailer and the three measures created above. The second table is just all data from the original table

Desired Outcome 
When you select a number value in the table on the left, the table on the right filters accordingly.

For example, I selected Asda, Blue Items (Number 3 highlighted in Image) and the table on the right would filter for all instances where retailer = Asda and Blue Items = True

Actual Outcome

The table on the right is only being filtered for for Retailer = Asda and not including the Blue = True part

Attempted Solution 1 - Filter on All Data Table

At first I thought I could apply a filter on the first table to show only where blue values = true. This would work for one colour however this does not work for multiple colours. If I filter the table for blue = true then this filters out instances of red = true and green = true.

Attempted Solution 2 - Unpivot the raw data to create a seperate line for each instance
This solution may work on the sample data, however the original dashboard I am using this one has millions of rows and 20+ "Colour" columns so unpivoting it is not a viable option at the moment
