One shot buttons

I'm setting up QLC for the first time, and having trouble understanding toggled scenes, vs one-shot.
I've set up two groups of scenes, one for light position, and one for light colours. The colours scenes have all the colour sliders selected, so that they cancel out previous colours. I've set up buttons for each scene.
It makes sense to me that the colour scenes would simply replace the previous colours. Activating the white scene would turn all the lights on. The blue scene would turn all the blue channels on, and the others off. A black scene will turn all the colours off.
However, when i create buttons for these scenes, they stay active. If I select white then blue, both stay active, and the white channels are half on and blue is half-on. If I want blue to come on full, then I have to turn off the white button. I have put them into 'solo' boxes, and that kind of helps.
It doesn't seem to work this way for movement scenes - if I click the button for position 1, then position 2, it doesn't seem to mix the positions, but takes the latest position, even when multiple positions are activated - which is confusing in itself.
I can understand that chasers need to be on/off buttons, because they continue to update the lights until they are turned off, but is there a way to make a simple scene as a one-shot, like in the tutorial #4 video? Or has this changed, and all scenes are now toggle scenes?
