Magento hide configurable product from catalog and search

I wish to use layered navigation to group products by similar colours using a custom attribute such as colour_group

Currently my simple products redirect to configurable product.

Example:I want to display SIMPLE PRODUCT Product A(red) / Product A(blue) but hide the the configurable product from catalog and search.

I looked at some solutions for extending the catalog visibility but could only find solutions for hiding out of stock products.

Anyone have any ideas.

Thanks.

Change the "Visibility" setting for configurable products to "Not Visible Individually". They will remain accessible by URL only which is what the simple products redirect to.
