Sadly no. Even the 3" (deep) color extender from City Theatrical is too long and will impact the wide beam of a 70° beam. The best advice I've seen would be to "tent" the color onto the fixture, using BlackTak™, and with Apollo Gel Shield in the colorframe. FWIW, I like R68 better than R74 for the exact reason of transmission. Perhaps also try Lee Filters HT074.
