Change Engraved/Embedded Text Color (NOT Entire Layer Color)

See attached image as reference.  If I model text (outside of the Slicer) and I Engrave (or cut in) the text, how do I change the color of *ONLY* the text "floor" and NOT change the color of the entire layer that "floor" is created/printed on?

It  has to be modelled as a 2 part Object.  One part is the main body but the 'floor' as you call it needs to be a separate Part with its own shape and thickness.

Once you have a 2 part model , when loaded into PS you can assign different extruders to the 2 parts and slice it as a multicolour print.  At that point the links Diem posted about manual multicolour  will be relevant.

Those links are fantastic!  Thank you so much.  As far as you know, has anyone done a video on this stuff?  I looked for that too but never found anything relevant.  Would be a nice visual reference at least.  Gonna try these instructions tomorrow.
