Yes, although I can think of some traditional Greek ligatures that would be hard to break into shape sequences that obviously correspond to the underlying characters. Knowing which parts of a Latin fi ligature correspond to which underlying characters, and hence which might be rendered as separate and independently coloured shaped, is not difficult. Something like the attached graphic is trickier.
