Now that I have had a chance to see what it is that you're trying to do, I see there is an easier way. I love clipping masks but sometimes they are not the best choice. Layer masks are not as editable, but in some cases (like this) it's not an issue.


I make this post so that anyone who may search this subject in the future will see options.

Sometimes it's easier to keep things simple. Just my 2 cents.


You can use clipping masks with the "blend if" option. Works on all colors of rectangle shapes except white. More on that later.
