Can you place 42 bishops with 6 bishops for each of the 7 colors on a 10x10 grid, such that no two bishops of different colors attack each other?

Here are some similar questions:

Peaceable Bishops on an 8x8 grid

Peaceable Bishops on an 10x10 grid

    $\begingroup$ @RewanDemontay perhaps a 2x2x2x2x2x2 grid would be interesting ;) $\endgroup$ Nov 26, 2019 at 1:24

32.......6
.3......65
.4......5.
.5......4.
.6.......4
.1.....7.3
171654...2
71....4327

512...3.65
1.124.7.56
21....6...
.2.....673
.4........
.3......4.
37......24
7.........
6..7342.51
5673..4.15

12.3..4671
21.5346..7
.........6
35......64
.3......4.
..........
467....253
...7..2..5
71.6..5..2
17.4..3521

Interestingly one cannot add a single other bishop of any color.
