For instance, if a prefix is for general purpose, and another is for voice

Yes, that's one of many reasons why using prefixes to distinguish
types of traffic is a really bad idea.
The idea is that "non color-aware" devices will only use the "Internet"
prefix, by means of the colored prefixes will use a different ND PIO type
for prefix announcement (thus invisible to these non color-aware hosts),
plus DHCPv6 server would only hand out prefixes/addresses to hosts that
request them.
