then you need to do each channel pair individually,

Can you imagine or write out how this might make sense mathematically?
If you can, then please share.
If you can not, then you are not doing something that might give any meaningful results?

Think about how you are framing your question.
Coloc as defined by the ICQ method of Li
is able to compare 2 images, not three or more.

you can talk only about the correlation between pairs of image data sets.

I am not sure sure what toy are trying to achieve???
Can be explain in more details what you are trying to measure exactly?

cheers

Dan
