Is it possible to make it so that on a $2\times 2 \times 2$ Rubik's cube, no similar colours are on the Same face

Question

On a $2 \times 2 \times 2$ Rubik's cube, is it possible to make it so that each of the similar colours are not on the same face? I've played around with it at the moment, but never had a state where each of the colours on a single face are unique.

Yes, hold the cube with the orange side facing you and the yellow on top (should work for any orientation but this is how I did it) then do the following algorithm

U2 F R U' R' U R U R2 F' R U R U' R' F R U' R' U R U R' F' U' R U F

Is this from a solved state? – Xetrov May 27 '17 at 14:43
@Goodra if your cube is in a solved state it should work – JB1 May 27 '17 at 15:35

Yes, the algorithm {L B R F } works if executed from a solved state.
