Abstract: Quantum $mathcalR$-matrices are the building blocks for the colored HOMFLY polynomials. In the case of three-strand braids with an identical finite-dimensional irreducible representation $T$ of $S{U}_q(N)$ associated with each strand one needs two matrices: $mathcal{R}_1$ and $mathcal{R}_2$. They are related by the Racah matrices $mathcal{R}_2=mathcalUmathcal{R}_{1}mathcal{U}^{dagger}$. Since we can always choose the basis so that $mathcal{R}_1$ is diagonal, the problem is reduced to evaluation of $mathcal{R}_2$-matrices. This paper is one more step on the road to simplification of such calculations. We found out and proved for some cases that $mathcal{R}_2$-matrices could be transformed into a block-diagonal ones. The essential condition is that there is a pair of accidentally coinciding eigenvalues among eigenvalues of $mathcal{R}_1$-matrix. The angle of the rotation in the sectors corresponding to accidentally coinciding eigenvalues from the basis defined by the Racah matrix to the basis in which $mathcal{R}_2$ is block-diagonal is $pmfracpi4$.
