A photo would help....
I suppose you mean a switch.
The black and its accompanying red will be Red into L1 and Black into L2.
The remaining Red and Blue and Yellow must be wired into the same terminals as they are at the other switch which operates the light.
So L1 and L2 will both have two wires in them.

Sorry yes I Did mean switch
the downstairs light is a double dimmer, which looks like yellow is in the comm does that make sense?
The black and its accompanying red will be Red into L1 and Black into L2. (from the same cable)?
