for (int p : colourPos[i+1])

How do I skip the first iteration of my colourPos vector?

Can I use .begin and

template 
struct skip
{
    T& t;
    std::size_t n;
    skip(T& v, std::size_t s) : t(v), n(s) {}
    auto begin() -> decltype(std::begin(t))
    {
        return std::next(std::begin(t), n);
    }
    auto end() -> decltype(std::end(t))
    {
        return std::end(t);
    }
};

int main()
{
    std::vector v{ 1, 2, 3, 4 };

    for (auto p : skip(v, 1))
    {
        std::cout << p << " ";
    }
}

Output:

2 3 4

Yet another live demo link.

template 
struct range_t
{
    T b, e;
    range_t(T x, T y) : b(x), e(y) {}
    T begin()
    {
        return b;
    }
    T end()
    {
        return e;
    }
};

template 
range_t range(T b, T e)
{
    return range_t(b, e);
}

int main()
{
    std::vector v{ 1, 2, 3, 4 };

    for (auto p : range(v.begin()+1, v.end()))
    {
        std::cout << p << " ";
    }
}

Output:

2 3 4
