Allow Customer to Select Any Value for Attributes that are Mutually Exclusive

Let’s say I have a product that comes in three sizes (Small, Medium, Large) and three colors (Red, White, Blue), but the small size is never available in red, the medium never in white, and the large never in blue. I set up my attributes as:

Attribute: Size

Values:

Small | Medium | Large

Attribute: Color

Values: Red | White | Blue

Then for my product variations I create:

Small – White

Small – Blue

Medium – Red

Medium – Blue

Large – Red

Large – White

Now let’s say my default variation for this product is:

Small – White

When a potential customer views that product, the default Small – White variation is shown, but in the drop-down selection box, the value Medium will never show unless they know to first change the Color attribute to Red or Blue. Same thing if they want to change the Color option to Red — that value will never be displayed unless they first change the Size attribute to Medium or Large.

Is there any way to allow all values to be displayed in the drop-down selection box for attributes, and automatically switch the incompatible attribute to a value that is compatible with the choice? So, if someone is looking for the product in size Medium, they can select that option, but when they do, the Color attribute will automatically switch to a compatible value?

Short of that, perhaps allow the customer to see, but not select the unavailable options with text explaining that the mutually exclusive attribute value must first be changed?
