Replicating Color Filters in Resolve

Technique

I've been looking around but can't find an answer to this specific question, if a more experienced colorist could help me out that would be great.

I'm shooting a project coming up on an Alexa35, I shot some test footage the other day with a Red, Green, Orange, and Yellow filter and I've been trying to emulate them in Resolve so I can generate some LUTs to load into the camera. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to replicate them reliably.

I've been messing with the monochrome settings but I can't quite get there. I also just tried to do it manually with the RGB sliders and wheels and still I'm having trouble getting there. I can likely just shoot with the filters but the flexibility of having the LUTs might be nicer.

Anyone want to give me a hand with this? I feel like a good colorist could probably put this together in a few minutes or at least help guide me to do it on my own.

I can also give you the sample footage if it's something you want to take a look at.
