Dupe the layers, then use Select>Color Range to select and delete the unwanted portion of each layer. Touch up as necessary with the eraser or paint brush.

It’s more common problem to want to separate two colors into separate channels as preparation for printing via a spot color. I wonder if this is what you really want.

Select > Color Range (or just use the wand), and then Layer > New > via cut. If they’re flat clean colors, or can be clearly distinguished at least. Otherwise…I dunno.
