Variable to get next color for manual filament changes?
Is there a way to get the next "color" that will be printed so i can send to the screen the next color to be inserted?
im doing a multiple and different 2 layers prints that uses multiple colors (manual changes on my E3V2NEO) but is becoming hard to keep track of the next color that will be needed (4, 5 colors on the same layer)
anyone knows a way to better get info on the color order for better workflow?
Thanks!

RE:
I have this custom gcode I found in a post that I can't find anymore:
;Printer Settings -> Custom G-Code -> Tool Change G-Code
;Colour Change Script with notification of colour:
; eliminate first tool change
{if previous_extruder != -1}
G0 Z{toolchange_z+10} F6000
M601 ; Pause
M400 ; wait until all moves are completed
; color notification
M117 Next color is { (extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#00FF00" ? "GREEN"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#FF0000" ? "RED"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#FFFF00" ? "YELLOW"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#0000FF" ? "BLUE"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#FFFFFF" ? "WHITE"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#000000" ? "BLACK"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#999999" ? "GRAY"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#D4AF37" ? "GOLDEN"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#C0C0C0" ? "SILVER"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#FF8000" ? "ORANGE"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#800080" ? "PURPLE"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#FF6600" ? "ORANGE"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#F0F0F0" ? "TRANSPARENT"
:(extruder_colour[next_extruder] == "#800000" ? "BROWN"
:extruder_colour[next_extruder] ))))))))))))))};
G4 S4 ; wait 4 seconds
M600
{endif}
You would have to mess with the colour RGB codes and colour names, and carefully set the filament colours in PrusaSlicer...
