Colorful Numbers

Objective: Given a number, find out whether its colorful or not.

Colorful Number: When in a given number, product of every digit of a sub-sequence are different. That number is called Colorful Number. See Example

Example:

Given Number : 3245
Output : Colorful
Number 3245 can be broken into parts like 3 2 4 5 32 24 45 324 245.
this number is a colorful number, since product of every digit of a sub-sequence are different.
That is, 3 2 4 5 (3*2)=6 (2*4)=8 (4*5)=20, (3*2*4)= 24 (2*4*5)= 40

Given Number : 326
Output : Not Colorful.
326 is not a colorful number as it generates 3 2 6 (3*2)=6 (2*6)=12.
