What about making a subclass of skos:Concept for the
concepts in your controlled vocabulary and then making
rdfs:range be that subclass? You wouldn't have to use
skos:Collection at all.

So,

  eg:Colour rdfs:subClassOf skos:Concept .
  eg:colour a owl:ObjectProperty ;
      rdfs:range eg:Colour .

  eg:red a eg:Colour ;
      skos:notation "red" .
  eg:green a eg:Colour ;
      skos:notation "green" .
  eg:blue a eg:Colour ;
      skos:notation "blue" .
