How to change support color for each tool?

Printing two diff color objects with 1 tool each and need to ensure the support color for each matches. 

I'm looking under multiple extruders settings but not connecting the dots here. 

1 black cup with black supports
1 orange logo with orange supports

Why does the support have to match?  It's much easier to use the same filament for both.

Cheerio,

I don't know of a way to align support colors with model colors. If I wanted to do that I'd design my supports in CAD so that I can make it a separate object to which I can design colors.

You can do that easily with Orca slicer (2.3.2)

Object/Support/Filaments Support/ Base or Interface <---

OK, but I still don't see why - if you pick a colour that contrasts with everything it's much easier to see what you're removing, or trying to remove if it's tricky.

Cheerio,
