Dynamic extrusion of filament during color changes

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to set a color depending dynamic value how much filament is extruded during a color change?

For example when you switch from a light color to black coloured filament 1-2 presses on the “not the right color” menu point are enough, but when you switch from black to white then you need 5-6 or more presses on this menu point to not end up in grey color for the first centimetres… 

It would be great to be able to not only set the color changes in the defined layers heights like possible already but set an e.g. multiplier to purge more for light filament switching too…

Is there some kind of option already in Prusa Slicer?

Thanks in advance. =)

Kind regards

RE:

The printer has no way of knowing what colours are loaded so you are stuck with one value.

You might tinker with:

Print Settings > Multiple extruders > Extra flow for purging           - you must be in Expert mode.

Cheerio,
