Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Multi-Color Filament Support with Visual Interface.
Currently, OrcaSlicer allows selection of a single color per filament, and the color representation in the interface is limited.
I would like to request the addition of multi-color filament selection capability with visual color representation in the interface. Adding 2/3 colors to the thread settings panel.

What it looks like now:

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

Benefits:
