You are mistaken about Colorado. According to statutes 18-6-301,
14-2-110, and 14-10-111, stepsiblings do not qualify for ***** or
prohibitive/invalid marriage. Both use the following words "a brother
or sister of the whole or half blood" or words to that effect.
Stepsiblings do not share whole or half blood.
