Feature Request? Filament Color Indicator

It would be great if I could some way set the currently loaded filament color so when I open Prusa Connect and I can tell what color filament is in each of my four machines.  Maybe it's already there and I just haven't been able to find it.

None of the hardware has any way of detecting what filament is in each extruder ...

Unless you are printing a run of the same small part you will be unloading, changing and loading different filaments each time - even if they are the same filament/colour it's usually wise to swap for a freshly dried spool, so you will be updating the value constantly - it will be quicker to either point a webcam at the spools, take snap with your phone or make a note on a scrap of paper.

Cheerio,
