INDX and "Full Spectrum" prints

I am really surprised I wasn't able to find any discussion about this project on the forum. Basically this is a technique that blends filament colors through dithering. You can use cyan, magenta, yellow and white to create a reasonable gamut of colors. You can also blend between any arbitrary colors. This is being shown off on the Snapmaker Orca Slicer fork for the U1. It takes TD (transmission distance) into account like HueForge. It seems to be an obvious case where the "brick layers" technique could be applied to allow even better color blending.

I'm pretty sure that this feature ported over to PrusaSlicer XL or INDX would be a huge selling point for users. I'm sure someone will implement it eventually, either entirely with Python (thus slicer-agnostic) or hopefully integrated directly into a fork of PS I am surprised I haven't been able to find discussion about wanting to see this feature supported in PS.

Here are a few random links about it. There is more on Reddit, Discord and Youtube, but you are on your own.

What do you think? Do you have a U1 and have you tried this? Would you like to see this working with the Core One INDX?

RE:

I own an XL and tried this with the (ugly) default 0.2mm profile from OrcaSlicer.

The blue isn't true blue, it's blue/white alternances, as for the grey that is black/white.

The critical part is to find a way to "easily" get and feed your filament specs, because the color blending can be way out of spot.

This attempt's results is more a less something like the "Chicken 1.0" from the authors.
